Join Us for the Feeding Military Heroes Food Drive

We believe in the power of community and compassion, and we invite you to be a part of something truly meaningful. The Satellite Rotary Club of Military Family Support is proud to announce our upcoming event, the Feeding Military Heroes Food Drive, scheduled for March 9, 2024. This event holds a special place in our hearts as it addresses a critical issue affecting our military families: food insecurity.

A Growing Crisis

When we think of the brave men and women who serve our nation, we often don’t realize the challenges they face behind the scenes. Shockingly, over 22,000 active-duty families, 213,000 National Guard/Reservist families, and 1.2 million Veterans struggle with food insecurity. This is a crisis that demands our attention and action.

Our Commitment to Change

Since 2022, the Satellite Rotary Club of Military Family Support has been tirelessly dedicated to making a difference in the lives of these families. We’ve already achieved significant milestones, providing over 13 tons of food and essential supplies to the Pelican Pantry at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms.

Expanding Our Reach

Now, on March 9, 2024, we’re gearing up for our semi-annual Feeding Military Heroes Food Drive, and this time, we’re extending our efforts. In addition to Twentynine Palms, we’ll also be supporting the Food Pantry at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, where the Armed Services YMCA operates the Pendleton Pantry. We believe in leaving no one behind, and our commitment knows no bounds.

How You Can Help

We’re calling upon our community, our neighbors, and our friends to join us in this noble endeavor. There are several ways you can make a difference:

1. Donate Food and Supplies: We’re collecting food staples, hygiene products, and baby supplies like diapers and formula. Every contribution counts.

2. Make a Monetary Donation: Your financial support is crucial in keeping these pantries well-stocked. Write “FEEDING HEROES” in the memo line and send your donation to PO Box 713, San Dimas, CA, 91773.

3. Volunteer Your Time: Explore volunteer opportunities and make a direct impact by lending a helping hand.

4. Spread the Word: Share this message with your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can raise awareness and inspire change.

We believe that change begins with us, and it starts right here in our community. Your support is invaluable in our mission to combat food insecurity among our military families. Join us on March 9, 2024, from 9 AM to 3 PM, at the San Dimas Masonic Temple, located at 220 N. Monte Vista Avenue, San Dimas, CA 91773.
