San Clemente Military Family Outreach
We are an outreach providing support and assistance to military members and
their dependents, with special attention being given to the young families
stationed at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. Most of these Marine families are
living far from home and relatives. Our Military Family Outreach allows
communities in Southern California to become their military families’ local
family; to offer friendship, sponsor morale events, provide assistance with
financial needs such as groceries, infant diapers, formula, cribs and car seats,
car repairs and other emergency requests, school supplies, and counseling.
Military members needing assistance may simply call – see the number below.
The Friends of San
Onofre Marines served our local military families for the past five years. When
Col William and Mrs Sidonia McReynolds, founders of FOSOM, announced their
decision to retire from assistance work, the San Clemente Military Family
Outreach was formed, to carry on their work.
Mission Statement: Our mission is to generate and coordinate community
resources, to provide service and assistance to any military service members,
active duty, reserve status, or recently discharged, and their dependents.
The SCMFO is a
non-profit organization run by an all volunteer board and staff. Many of our
volunteers have previously served on active duty. The group operates out of
space granted by St. Andrew’s By-the-Sea United Methodist Church in San Clemente.
SCMFO funds are managed by an established Foundation, a 501c3, in a fund
established solely for the SCMFO use. The SCMFO partners with other non-profit
organizations to accomplish its goals.
