The public is invited to help support Mission Viejo’s adopted Marines and Sailors by contributing items for holiday care packages. Volunteers are also sought to put together the packages that will be shipped overseas before the holidays.
Volunteers from the City’s Marines and Sailors Adoption Committee will collect donations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Albertsons grocery store located near the intersection of La Paz and Muirlands.
Requested items include Slim Jim meat sticks, Betty Crocker fruit-flavored snacks and cheese and peanut butter crackers.
If you are unable to make it to the store on Saturday, you can still drop off donations in specially designed boxes at City Hall; the library; Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center; and the Montanoso and Sierra Recreation Centers.
Donations will be packaged by volunteers at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way.
For more information or to sign up to volunteer with this effort, call 949-470-3061.
