When I was looking for a Non-Profit Charity to Partner with for my Operation Valentine Promotion, I envisioned helping a Military Charity. Think about it, you hear and see the word “Operation” in front of something, your mind automatically goes to military. But I also wanted to help raise funds for a local charity as well considering I live in the Morongo Basin, home to Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) located in 29 Palms . After doing some research through Charity Navigator I discovered Homes For Our Troops. They are a National Charity that has helped several families in California.
The easiest way to tell you about Homes For Our Troops is with one of their 147 videos they have featured on YouTube.
I am a firm believer in supporting our military and their families. Look at all the sacrifices these men and women have made! It’s the least we can do to pay them pay for all they have done for the United States of America. My Goal with Operation Valentine this year was to make a donation of $300. So if you are local, there is still time to schedule your Operation Valentine Session. $25 of every Session Fee paid is being donated to Homes For Our Troops.
And if you are not local or can not book a Session, please consider making a donation directly to Homes For Our Troops. You can Donate Online, through the mail, or you can even donate your time and/or building supplies.
