Download: Adopt a Military Family Program 2011 Since 2005, Operation: Care and Comfort has conducted the "Adopt a Military Family" campaign, and this campaign will now be available to assist local, Bay Area military families all year round, on a limited basis. (This program uses no funds from the Operation: Care and Comfort program.) Civilian families, companies, and organizations may ask to be on a stand by list to anonymously assist a local military family that is brought to our attention by a military liaison. If you or your organization is selected to help, the civilian family (or company or organization) will work through the military liaison to help the military family on a one time basis with their specific need. This could be as simple as purchasing a special toy for a military child, purchasing gift cards to local grocery stores, or helping to pay an electric bill. It could also be helping to get an automobile or dishwasher fixed&emdash;the needs will vary. For Christmas 2009, with the help of the San Jose Police Department Chaplaincy Program, local organizations, companies, and civilian families, we were able to assist over 200 military families and veterans! For Christmas 2010, with the help of Wells Faro Bank employees, local organizations, companies, and civilian families, we were able to assist over 300 military families and veterans! If you are interested in helping, please email Julie at troopsupport@comcast.net if you wish to ask for additional information or to be included on the stand by list. Gift cards and monetary donations are also welcome to help support these families throughout the year.
To make a tax deductible monetary contribution, please make
your check or money order payable to OCC/Adopt a Military Family, and mail it to:
