2023 Giving Marin Awardees
The Blue Star Moms of Marin members, associates and community volunteers foster our mission of supporting the troops, their families and our veterans. We depend on the generosity of our community to assist us in fulfilling our mission.
We feel strongly that a care package from home is one of the most tangible and immediate ways that we can show our gratitude and appreciation to the military men and women serving far from home. Our packages of food, toiletries and, very importantly, cards and letters, are a great morale boost to the spirits of those far away from family and friends.
