Military Outreach: Camp Pendleton Recap

On Saturday, January 20 in the early morning, St. Francis volunteers arrived to pack donations received into the vans and trucks headed to Hawthorne High School for later delivery to Camp Pendleton.

It was very successful: we filled six vans with donated items, including nineteen gift cards. We also were offered an apartment complete with the donation of ALL items for those who are part of Camp Pendleton! We also sent 20 boxes to a Marine unit in Japan. Military Outreach has been busy!
