Our Mission
Our mission is to serve a vastly underserved population of junior enlisted military in San Diego County with basic needs to help stretch their limited funds while they live in one of the most expensive areas in the country. Our services are free of charge in appreciation for their service and consist of: (1) the distribution of food 7 times a month at military housing and holiday meals in November and December, (2) enabling families to shop at our La Mesa Distribution Center for baby items, children’s clothes, and household items, (3) helping families feel a sense of community, especially spouses of deployed members, by holding special events such as baby showers, Christmas Stores, Easter egg hunts, back to school backpacks drive, and (4) helping during personal emergencies.
