You & Your Kids Can Volunteer Near Your Rancho Santa Fe Home

An opportunity to serve on Armed Forces Day, May 19th is available to children and adults who live in Rancho Santa Fe through Kids Korps. The organization will be hosting a Military Family Appreciation Care Package Assembly Party from 2 to 4 p.m. at the La Colonia Community Center, located at 715 Valley Ave, in Solana Beach. For $5 per care package, community members, including children over five years old, can participate in a unique chance to give back. One of the special projects created that day will include stuffing new teddy bears for children of deployed military personnel, and is sure to make a memory for your child to cherish even after they return to their Rancho Santa home.

Families will be assembling care packages, stuffing bears, and writing letters and special messages of encouragement, as well as creating American flag pins and a ribbon-based American flag for display at Camp Pendleton. Along with their service, volunteers can learn about Captain Robert Regedanz’ missions to Afghanistan and a Family Readiness Officer will share stories from the lives of Camp Pendelton families.
