I live close to Camp Pendelton. After seven years in combat in Iraq men and women need our support. This war we didn't see them come home in boxes on the news. This war we didn't hold our hands on our heart when they left. They are coming home to families and we need to say thank you every time we see them. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in this cause or you are seeing hard times yourself I am asking you to find some simple things they need to get back to normal.
They need gently used furniture to make new civilian homes.They need your car seats and diapers because many have small children and the family lives on a small budget. They most of all need us to welcome them. We need to let them know that being a soldier was a vocation that we appreciate.
Don't give to the Red Cross call Camp Pendleton, go on their website and give something to an individual. So you don't have money to give, perhaps you are good at writing a resume for someone?
Furniture Items Needed
Several military families are in need of furniture items. Families just starting or who have just moved to the area often need living room, dining room and bedroom furniture. We also have families currently waiting for washers and dryers. Your gently used furniture items can help a service member and their family feel at home!
If you would like to assist with this need, please reference client case number: SCal041410
