At Logix, we believe in supporting our communities—both near and far. Recently, one of our team members, Allison, had the opportunity to volunteer at a local nonprofit called For The Troops, and the experience turned out to be more meaningful than anyone could have imagined.
For The Troops is a volunteer-run organization based in Simi Valley, Calif., dedicated to sending care packages to deployed U.S. service members. These packages are filled with everyday essentials, comfort items, handwritten notes, and heartfelt reminders that our troops are never forgotten. Since its inception in 2005, the organization has shipped more than 300,000 packages to troops serving in harm’s way—an extraordinary testament to the power of community and compassion.
Allison Lombana, one of our Logix team members, joined the Volunteer Time Off opportunity to help assemble these care packages. The room buzzed with activity—dozens of people carefully packing snacks, hygiene products, and thank-you cards into boxes that would soon travel thousands of miles.
What happened next was nothing short of serendipity.
Allison’s wife—currently deployed overseas—sent her a message with a photo. She had just received a care package from For The Troops. It was one of the very packages Allison helped assemble.
“My wife is in the military, and it meant so much to me to send her a care package with For The Troops’ help. It took four weeks to arrive and she was grateful. It had a taste of home inside – snacks, gum and other treats. Many thanks for the opportunity!”
At Logix, we’re honored to support employees like Allison who pour their hearts into causes that matter. Volunteering isn’t just about giving time—it’s about giving kindness, and sometimes, that kindness finds its way back in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.
We’re proud to recognize For The Troops and all they do to support our military members. If you’re looking for a way to give back, we encourage you to get involved. A few hours of your time could make a world of difference—just ask Allison.
