Grub Company offers two distinct ways to support Israeli soldiers with biltong: buying the Biltong Bulk Box Donation directly, or donating through the separate Beef Up Our Boys channel. They're related but not the same purchase, and the questions below cover how each one actually works.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Biltong Bulk Box Donation?
It's a $450 product listing on Grub Company's site where the customer purchases a bulk box of biltong, and Grub Company ensures it's delivered to Israeli soldiers as a gesture of support and gratitude. It's a direct purchase, you buy the box, and Grub Company handles getting it to Israeli troops. The listing frames the purchase around boosting morale, providing a nutrient-rich snack, and expressing gratitude to the soldiers who receive it.
How much biltong is in one Bulk Box?
One box contains sixty 3oz packs of biltong, based on the product's listed SKU. That's the full contents of the $450 purchase, sixty individual 3oz packs bundled into a single bulk box, which Grub Company then delivers to Israeli soldiers rather than shipping to the customer's own address.
How much does the Biltong Bulk Box Donation cost?
The Bulk Box is priced at $450.00 for sixty 3oz packs of biltong. This is a flat, single price for the full box, there isn't a smaller or larger version of this specific bulk product listed alongside it. The price covers both the biltong itself and Grub Company's handling of delivery to Israeli soldiers.
Who actually receives the biltong from this box?
Israeli soldiers receive the biltong. Grub Company's product listing states that purchasing the box results in the biltong being delivered to Israeli troops, framed as a way to show solidarity, boost morale, and express gratitude toward the soldiers who receive it. The customer isn't shipped the box themselves, the purchase funds delivery directly to the troops.
Is the $450 Biltong Bulk Box Donation itself tax-deductible?
The $450 Bulk Box is described as a direct product purchase on Grub Company's site, not as a donation through a separate tax-deductible channel. Beef Up Our Boys is named as the distinct channel specifically for tax-deductible donations that fund Grub Company biltong for Israeli troops. If a tax deduction matters to you, that separate channel, not the direct $450 box purchase, is the one described as tax-deductible.
What is Beef Up Our Boys, and how is it different from buying the box?
Beef Up Our Boys is a separate, named partner for tax-deductible donations. Funds donated through that channel are used to purchase Grub Company biltong that's sent to Israeli troops. It's a different path to the same general cause as the $450 Bulk Box, but it's not the same transaction, one is a direct product purchase on Grub Company's site, the other is a donation through Beef Up Our Boys as a separate tax-deductible channel.
Can I both buy the Bulk Box and donate through Beef Up Our Boys?
Yes, they're two distinct and separate ways to support the same cause, buying the $450 box directly through Grub Company, or donating through Beef Up Our Boys. Nothing in the product listing suggests these two options are combined into a single transaction or that one replaces the other, they run as parallel, independent channels supporting Israeli soldiers with biltong.
Does the biltong sent to Israeli soldiers carry the same kosher certification as the rest of Grub Company's biltong?
Yes, biltong is kosher certified across all flavors and formats Grub Company sells, and that applies to the biltong included in the Bulk Box Donation as well. The product listing doesn't specify a different certification status for the bulk biltong compared to biltong sold in other formats.
What's the reasoning behind sending biltong specifically to Israeli soldiers?
Grub Company's product listing frames the Bulk Box around showing solidarity with Israeli soldiers, boosting morale, providing a nutrient-rich snack, and expressing gratitude. Biltong is a shelf-stable, high-protein dried meat snack, which fits the stated purpose of providing something nutrient-rich that can be delivered and kept without refrigeration.
How do I purchase the Biltong Bulk Box Donation or donate through Beef Up Our Boys?
The Biltong Bulk Box Donation is purchased directly through Grub Company's product listing at thegrubcompany.com/products/biltong-bulk-box-donation, priced at $450.00 for sixty 3oz packs. Beef Up Our Boys is a separate, named partner organization for tax-deductible donations that fund Grub Company biltong for Israeli troops, and is a distinct donation channel from the direct box purchase.
