During my husband’s deployment there were a lot of things that we tried to do to make sure that he had reminders of home as much as possible. In addition to the miracles of video calls and texting we also relied on the old school versatility and convenience of a Care Package. we sent them for Holidays, Birthday and ANYdays. Care Packages were a great way for our family to send him a bit of home no matter how fare away he was.
A few of the things he asked for were card games, DVDs, books, socks and his favorites snacks which were always a great and easy way to give him a taste of home no matter the distance.
StarKist Tuna has come up with an amazing way to help you send the perfect Care Package and include a taste from home in packaging that makes it easy for your loved one to eat and enjoy on-the-go. The new “Outdoor Tuna Creation Pouch” comes in a easy to carry, single serve portion that is the perfect addition to any Care Package. Plus they provide a great source of lean protein and come in 5 delicious flavor varieties to fit any taste buds. I call that a Win-Win on all sides!
Yet that isn’t where StarKist stops. Nope. As one of our nations classic brands, StarKist believes along with the beloved Charlie The Tuna® want to take the time to say ‘Thanks‘ to our heroes during the Holidays. StarKist has partnered with the 2014 Wounded Warrior Project® Believe In Heroes Campaign® to help honor, support and encourage our wounded heroes.
Now sending a care package can be a bit tricky at times. Here are a few of my personal Care Package ABCs…
Less Is Best
I always tried to make my Care Packages a bit compact. I found the larger the package the more skill I needed to actually get it packed. So instead of sending every thing I could think of all at once I would send a few things (no more than 10) at a time. This let me have the fun of sending another package later. According to my husband, the one of the best parts of receiving a Care Package while deployed is the hearing your name during mail call. So the more packages the better!
Make It Personal
I know he misses this the most. That’s what I would want to think when I decided what to include in my husband’s packages. What things do I know he is missing the most from home? Swedish Fish, Double Stuff Oreo Cookies, his favorite kind of toothbrush or body wash. Those are the things that can be hard to get while down range and that can give a sense of home with a simply taste or scent.
Pack In The Love
This is from us. Let your husband or loved one know that you are thinking of them. Include a few things that are from your heart. A note, a drawing or even something handmade. A bit of love can go a long way.

Hi Heather 🙂 Thanks for being such an amazing host…!
Love tuna packages like this and I love the camo pouches.
I do too! Perfect quick snack! Thanks for coming by 🙂
I actually don't eat tuna (have never liked it) but my husband does and I'm sure he'd like this!
Aww…I love it as a go to snack…I hope your husband gets to taste try it 🙂
Tuna is such a yummy and go to meal for me!!
It really is Melanie…especially for a mommy on the go!
I send a military care package each month, and though my focus is baked goods, I fill the packages with anything I can think of that will bring a smile and a tiny piece of home. Many of the soldiers are looking for healthy snacks and these tuna packs are perfect for that! I don't know why I hadn't thought of them before. Thank you. 🙂 I'm already making a list in my head of what else I will include in an ocean themed care package!
Yes Wendy! I tried to send one to my Hubby at least once a month sometimes twice. They definitely look forward to them and anything healthy is great because most times they can’t find things that are familiar in taste. The SunKist Pouches are perfect for packing and even when they need to eat on-the-go! So glad you had a chance to come by and I hope them love the new themes 😀
I love this idea! I also love tuna, and it would be a great addition to a Wounded Warrior Care Package!

Me Too! I ate the pouches before but never knew they had the flavor choices they do. Definitely a great way to support a great cause!
I love flavored tuna. The lemon pepper one is so good. And what a great cause that they've decided to become a part of! That's so incredible.
My recent post Friendsgiving.
I love lemon pepper on just about anything so I can’t wait to try these new Flavors! Yes, WWP is definitely a cause worthy of support. Thanks so much for coming by Tiffany!
The Wounded Warrior Project is SO amazing–the work they do makes me get all teary every time I see one of their promo videos. Charleston hosts a big musical fundraiser for the WWP every year, and we've gone to it. I love helping a great cause!
My recent post The Flowering Bridge of Lake Lure
They truly are! To recognize the needs and make a way for everyone of us to help support and encourage a veteran is definitely a great cause!
Ohh, I love giveaways and I love Tuna. Yes ma'am
My recent post Grits Gouda Bake
Haha! Me Too – on both counts 😉 Good Luck!
As a wife of a veteran I am a big supporter of the wounded warrior project!
My recent post Zoe "Zoella" Sugg : Girl Online
Same here Nicole!! They need support even thought they\’re out.
I've seen similar pouches like this when I taught elementary school. It wasn't this flavor but just basic tuna with mayo. The kids really seemed to love it.

Yes!! I snack on them all the time running errands but the new flavors make them that much better 🙂
