SCMFO San Clemente Military Family Outreach
Food Drive Donation List
Donations accepted at these upcoming Sunday Services: March 15th - Celtic Service and March 29th - Palm Sunday
Thank you for helping support our Marine/Navy families stationed at Camp Pendleton. Every month, enlisted (E6 rank and under) families can receive food from our pantry. In 2025, SCMFO had 186 visits from our military families who needed food. We were also able to provide $250 in commissary/gas cards for 133 family visits during the same time period. The food we have on our list are the most popular items. SCMFO appreciates any items you can donate. Please bring your donation when you come to church on March 15. You can leave them on the steps of the church when you arrive and we will collect and transport them to the SCMFO office.
These Food donations will be prior to Easter, so some treats would be well appreciated. We don’t give candy, but cookies or cake mixes for cupcakes, cakes and canned frosting would be appreciated!
