Help support those who fight for our freedoms

Help support the men and women who fight for our freedoms by donating much-needed items for the members of our City’s adopted Headquarters Battalion, 1st Marine Division from Camp Pendleton.  

You can drop off items for care packages such as razors, socks, jerky, foot powder and eye drops as well as baby items – diapers, new clothes and blankets, lotion, etc., – for expecting Marine families. Donation bins are in the lobbies of City Hall and the library (no appointment required to enter the library lobby.). Formal wear is not currently being accepted.

Monetary donations are also sought. Make a tax-deductible donation to the MV Community Foundation and write “Care Packages” or “Baby Items” in the donation note field. 

For more information, visit the Marine Adoption webpage, contact RCS@cityofmissionviejo.org or call 949-470-3061.
