Camp Pendleton
We no longer live in a world that provides the basics on a single income. Yet military spouses experience an unemployment rate of 22%—one of the highest in the country and rising—with an additional 32% of spouses under-employed. It’s just one of the many unique challenges that come with the frequent moves and unpredictability inherent to military life. This places extraordinary financial stressors on young service members and their families and often creates food insecurity and difficulty meeting the basic needs of their families.
The Armed Services YMCA Camp Pendleton works to combat this issue in the community we serve through our Temporary Emergency Assistance Program. Pendleton Pantry, and monthly food and diaper distributions.
These critical programs help military families worry less about weathering a crisis, enabling them to focus on mission readiness.
Located in our Admin office at 200090 Ash Road, Wire Mountain Road, the Pendleton Pantry ensures military families have everything they need to makes ends meet and have homes running smoothly. Hours: Monday and Wednesday 11:00AM-2:00PM
