Make the holidays brighter for some families of our City’s adopted Headquarters Battalion, 1st Marine Division through the annual Adopt-A-Marine program.
Every year, countless military members spend the holidays away from loved ones. In gratitude for their service, you can make a difference to those who protect our freedoms by providing holiday gifts for Marine families. As part of the program, participating Marines provide a “wish list†for their children, and City staff works to link families with generous community members interested in providing gifts that are delivered to Camp Pendleton before the holidays.
To adopt a family and for more information, contact adoptamarinefamily@cityofmissionviejo.org or 949-470-3061.
