As part of the event, Marc’s customers were treated to samples of CB Old Country Store’s iconic country-style products, including savory deli meats like Sweet Smoked Ham, Pan Roasted Turkey Breast and Oven Roasted Turkey Breast.
“Supporting and honoring America’s military families is something we care deeply about at CB Old Country Store,” said Julie Whitnel, CB Old Country Store Licensing Manager. “We are thankful to have an opportunity to support military families in Ohio and grateful to Marc’s for their partnership as we present the USO with $5,000 in groceries.”
