There's still 17 single Marines and 14 Marine couples left to be adopted as part of our annual Adopt-A-Marine program.

You can make a difference to those who protect our freedoms by providing holiday gifts for Marine families. As part of the program, participating Marines provide a “wish list,” and City staff works to link families with generous community members interested in providing gifts that are delivered to Camp Pendleton before the holidays.

Gifts need to be dropped off to City Hall by December 10.
