THe JOhn Noster Memorial fund
|
John Noster served in the United States Army in his younger years and had a heart for the struggles that military personnel, both former and active-duty, and their families experience. His desire was to care for those who put their lives on the line for the protection of our nation. Mr. Noster passed away in October of 2019. His family recently discovered a file that contained funds and a detailed note from Mr. Noster regarding his desire to have $5,000 donated to assist both former and active-duty military veterans. VCMilC is pleased to administer the John Noster Memorial Fund with 100% of the funds going directly to the needs of military and veteran.
Our first project was partnering with the food distribution on Naval Base Ventura County to assist those military and veteran families who are struggling with food insecurity. VCMilC spent $160 to provide 7,000 bags which volunteers filled with produce. If you would like to donate to the John Noster fund please click HERE. All donations are tax deductible. |
Brown Bag Brigade fund
|
VCMilC has established the Brown Bag Brigade fund to facilitate food for First Responders providing valuable services in Ventura County. Often times these brave men and women are deployed to a particular situation without immediate access to food. Brown Bag Brigade provides 9 protein packed items in a brown bag (including a small sandwich, water, apple, jerky etc.). These bags are easily and quickly assembled utilizing volunteers which allows VCMilC to rapidly respond to emergency utilizing First Responder personnel who have been mobilized. If you would like to help VCMilC with this fund donations can be accepted via check or credit card. All donations are tax deductible. To donate to the Brown Bag Brigade Fund please click HERE.
