NASHVILLE, TN: Aptia, the leading US employee benefits administrator and global pensions, health and insurance provider, continued its Aptia Serves philanthropic initiative during its Annual Sales Kickoff this week, in Nashville, TN. With a “Taste of Home” theme, 75 Aptia employees and volunteers joined forces with the Green Beret Foundation to assemble 400 “Ruck Ready Relief Kits. These care packages are designed to keep active-duty Green Berets connected to home before and during deployment.
Filled with essential items, meaningful comforts, and handwritten notes of encouragement, volunteers-built kits of nonperishable foods and letters, which will be delivered to the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Fort Campbell, KY. Donations from Green Beret–owned companies Anthem Snacks and Alpha Elite Performance helped bring the “Taste of Home” theme to life.
This effort aligns with the launch of the Mobile Expeditionary Support Program, a new Green Beret Foundation initiative that bridges the gap between military service and civilian support networks. Aptia is proud to be the first corporate partner in this effort.
“At Aptia, service is part of who we are. Building these kits gave us the opportunity to step outside our daily work and make a tangible impact. It was a meaningful way for our team to come together while showing gratitude to the Green Berets who dedicate so much in service to our country.” – Jaclyn Hastings, Director of Marketing, Aptia.
“The Mobile Expeditionary Support Program ensures that Green Berets and their families know they are never alone—whether preparing for deployment, returning home, or transitioning beyond their years of service. At every stage, and across every generation, the Green Beret Foundation stands ready to meet them where they are with the support, connection, and care they deserve. With partners like Aptia, we are proud to reinforce this promise, bringing strength and support to the Regiment no matter where duty calls.” - Charlie Iacono, President & CEO, Green Beret Foundation
“Aptia Serves is about aligning who we are as a company with what we value most — service, care, and community. Building these kits was a powerful reminder that when we come together, we can make a difference that extends well beyond our business.” – Jeff Williams, President & CEO, Aptia
The collaboration reflects Aptia’s ongoing commitment to community impact. Earlier in 2025, Aptia Serves partnered with the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation to assemble sensory kits for children with autism and supported the United Way of Central Iowa in a garden beautification project.
