Ongoing Care Package Program In our continuous effort to better aid our serving men and women deployed in Afghanistan, the MMA is now including school supplies to be distributed to Afghan children. A contribution of $75 supports the efforts of Marines in Afghanistan to open and supply schools, and helps ensure that the next generation of Afghan children will be able to get an education. Functioning schools stabilize communities and when communities are stable, there’s less violence. Phone (415) 673-6672 x215 to learn more. To donate online, go to
