Members of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce’s Military Affairs Committee took part in what has become a tradition for the group — helping the Military Outreach Ministry Camp Pendleton (MOM4USA) provide Thanksgiving Day dinner for the families of some Camp Pendleton-based Marines.
The volunteers helped to sort donated dinn
er items (including boxes of stuffing, potatoes, french onion rings, desserts and cans with yams and cranberry sauce) into bags that will be distributed to pre-selected families this weekend ahead of the holiday celebration. The sorting happened at a MOMS4USA warehouse at Camp Pendleton.
Members of the Military Affairs Committee who took part in the volunteer opportunity were: The volunteers helped sort about 300 bags of food.
MOM4USA’s mission is “to shine a light on the unique lifestyle of the military family and connect with partners in the community to show our appreciation. We strive to create opportunities for giving, community service and to tell the story of hundreds of unique families. Our programs provide young military families with gifts of gratitude from the community that will express thanks and help improve their quality of life. These programs serve more than 50,000 active-duty military and their dependents each year with innovative programs that provide essential items.”
