Join in helping our troops: Operation Interdependence

Now is your chance to support our troops on the front lines of freedom. From Memorial Day through July 4th and Freddy's Frozen Custard will be collecting care packages for our hero's over seas.

It's Operation Interdependance where you can give to our men and women in service the everyday items we use and take for granted.

A complete list of drop off locations, items to be collected, and other ways you can be involved are listed below.
