Programs described in its return (1)
- Following 14 years of tireless service by our All-Volunteer team to Americas Military Children, our non-profit took a pause in out regular Program Services during our 15th year. This past year, our team at Military Childrens Charity still worked tirelessly, however, focused on beginning a digital revolution to move all our operations and programs forward into the modern era. Further, MCC has been utilizing 14 years of lessons learned firsthand, whilst serving aboard the U.S. Military Bases, (across every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces), to create additional STEM and Literacy Programs that will serve Americas Military Children in the coming years. Lastly, to work to create improvements and maximum efficiencies in all of our plans and processes. Across 15 years of operation, M.C.C. has now distributed new: 1,590 Easter Baskets, 1,139 backpacks filled with 8,228 school supplies, 47,102 toys/gifts, 32,007 books, 34,232 baby/childrens clothing items, 1,837 baby shower items and 13,136 dollar store toys. In total, nearly 140,000 gifts of appreciation have been distributed to U.S. Military and Bereaved Families Mission Accomplished!Further, beyond countless family day events and 8 Baby Showers hosted on behalf of the Department of Defense, MCC has also served to date over 3 dozen families who lost a loved one in service to our nation. From military funerals to high school graduations, MCC has repeatedly shown up for these bereaved families as a symbol to them that America cares about their sacrifice at freedoms door.Lastly, in an extraordinary effort, MCCs all-volunteer team assisted to rescue 17 individuals, including women and children, during the fall of Afghanistan from Kabul Airport and resettle them successfully into Orange County, California. Specifically, this was a VIP family to the United States government, and our team members dropped everything to answer this call, ensuring their safe and successful resettlement into our nation. M.C.C. remains All-Volunteer and over the 15 years still has NO paid staff members. Our volunteers have shown up for our nation for the past 15 years out of patriotism and care for our U.S. Armed Forces. Military children across multiple branches of the U.S. Armed Forces were repeatedly reminded that Americans care about their sacrifices for their parent(s) to serve our nation.
