SOSi employees donated thousands of cups of coffee to service members stationed overseas this holiday season. Together, the SOSi employees collected boxes of K-Cup coffee and other hot drinks during the month of November to share a small reminder of home with those serving so far away.

Reston-based SOSi partners with USO to collect and distribute K-Cup refills to troops overseas.

The USO's team identified the need for K-Cup coffee refills at bases across the globe and partnered with SOSi to distribute the donations to service members overseas.

The thousands of donated cups were packed into care packages by SOSi employees in the Reston office on Tuesday, Dec. 1 and shipped to five locations in Iraq where U.S. troops are currently stationed.

SOSi currently provides base life support service in two locations in Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve -- Taji and Besmaya. Both will receive K-Cups for Troops care packages shipped this December by SOSi employees.
