When you think about challenges facing military families, food insecurity may not come to mind, however it is real. Military families, particularly those of enlisted personnel, struggle between pay periods. Indeed, over 22,000 active-duty families, 213,000 National Guard/Reservist families and 1.2 million Veterans suffer food insecurity.
To ensure our military families at 29 Palms Marine Corps Base never go hungry, the Armed Services YMCA operates the Pelican Pantry where active-duty families are welcome to donated pantry staples and hygiene products. In March 2023, the Satellite Rotary Club of Military Family Support organized a food drive to support the Pelican Pantry. Over 5 tons of food and more than $13,000 in donations were collected.
Military families need your help. Become a Rotarian with our Satellite Club. https://www.linkedin.com/company/military-family-support
