Adopt a Military Family


Adopt a Military-banner.jpg

Here's a chance to express your gratitude and support of military families who sacrifice so much for us over the holidays!

Some will be deployed while their families celebrate Christmas without them. Others are preparing for deployment and Christmas is a sacred time for the family to spend time together before a long absence. Some may have just returned from being away on deployment for months.

How to Participate

Bring a gift card to be given to an individual service member

OR

Choose a profile for a family of any size, and commit to providing the following (wish list will be provided):
- A minimum of 3 gifts per child
- A minimum of 2 gifts per adult
- A minimum of $200 in gift cards to enable families to do shopping of their own and/or to immediate needs
- Because most of the families are either preparing to separate, are separated due to deployment, or have just been reunited, we try to provide at least 1 gift that families can enjoy together (movie tickets, games, family photos, activities to do together, etc.)
- Be sure to include a card from your family or group and feel free to invite them to church for Christmas Eve!

The deadline for selecting a family is Sunday, December 1.
Deliver your gifts to Camp Pendleton on Friday, December 13 (just off I-5 at Basilone Road)
This is a great option for life groups to do together!
