All donations made through this campaign will be given directly to families and service members impacted by the recent attacks in Afghanistan, or -- if designated by you-- to support through our barracks project, Camp JOY and Have a Ball fundraising efforts all with the purpose of increasing morale and showing community support. We are a 100% volunteer organization, and 100% of your donation will be used to directly support these families, service members and the unit.
Unless you indicate otherwise, your donation will be used where needed most, but you can choose to support the unit involved in the following ways:
~Monetary donation for a surviving spouse/child (funds will be directly to each family in the form of a check or direct deposit) 100% of your donation will be given in monetary support for these families.
- Donation to purchase gift cards or vouchers for family members of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice (gas, food, visa, travel needs, baby needs, groceries, etc.) Our directors will use 100% of your donation to purchase and give this support directly to families.
-Donation to assist with wounded service members (gift cards for family travel, food and personal needs, hospital needs, childcare, etc.). 100% of your donation will be used to assist their families and their needs.
~Donation to sponsor a child of a deployed member of this unit at our Camp JOY for 2/1 (September 18th)
~Donation to our Operation Rack Pack barracks project for 2/1's Marines and Sailors returning to the barracks
~Donation to our Have a Ball Fundraiser for 2/1
~Donation to support 1/8 with return and reunion events
An OHH Board Member has pledged to cover the small percentage of your donation taken by donorbox/paypal unless you choose to donate the fee as well. This will allow every penny you donate to go where it is needed most.
