Success for The General's Hot Sauce has allowed it to contribute more than $750,000 in recent years to organizations that aid America's veterans and their families.

Among the recent recipients of The General's assistance: the Boulder Crest Foundation in Virginia, the Warrior Alliance in Atlanta and the Warrior Canine Connection in Maryland.
