Remember our troops and their families this holiday season.

Operation Homefront is a local support group dedicated to our active military, their families and our wounded warriors once they return home.

If you're interested in giving to a worthy charity this holiday season, please consider Operation Homefront. There are a couple of annual holiday programs to choose from.

Adopt-a-Family:

Would you like a great way to connect one on one with military families to say a special thank you this holiday season by providing food and gifts to the family. Community sponsors must be able to provide an entire holiday dinner with all the trimmings for the family (estimated $50-$100) and gifts for each of the children (minimum of $30-$50 per child). If you would like to sponsor a family for the holidays please complete the Sponsor Participation Agreement below and fax to us at 858-695-6845. You will be contacted shortly to discuss your application.

Holiday Food Baskets:

Operation Homefront teams up with Lincoln Military Housing to present its annual Gift to You program to help set tables for over 1000 military families.

Say thank you to military families this holiday season by sending in a monetary donation or a grocery gift card. If you would like to donate non-perishable foods, please drop off the donation at any San Diego County Saturn Dealerships. Don't have time to shop, sponsor one food basket with a donation of $30. You can also mail your donation to Operation Homefront, PO Box 26747, San Diego, CA 92196 and indicate in the memo line "Holiday".
