There are over 70,000 Marines at Camp Pendleton! More than 160 babies are born there each month! There are 10,000 children under the age of five. Most families arrive with whatever they can fit in their car. With a very low income, most do not have all they need for newborns and small children. These families also have to furnish an apartment and set up a kitchen.

The Rotary club of Glendale joined with many other clubs in Rotary District 5280 and collected donations to purchase essentials for the families at Camp Pendleton.
