The City is once again sponsoring a holiday Toy Drive for its adopted Marine Unit: Helicopter Marine Light Attack 369 and their family members. The squadron is currently deployed; however, their families are still in need of a Christmas. The 400 men and women with over 150 children need your support and deeply appreciate it. The ages of the children in the squadron range from newborn to 15 years of age.
Drop off a new, unwrapped toy or gift card at the Civic Center now through December 17. In addition, a collection box is available at the “Jingle Terrace Park” Drive-Thru Holiday Light Experience Nightly through December 23.
Thanks for your support of HMLA 369 this holiday season!
Throughout the year, non-perishable items can also be donated to help support the Marines’ family members while the troops are overseas. Cases of water, Vista business gift cards, toys, school supplies, or diapers (all sizes) are greatly appreciated items. Items such as beef jerky, energy drinks, coffee k-cups, towels, and toiletry items can also be donated for the troops to use.
For more information, please contact the City Manager’s Office at 760.643.5200.
