With the holidays quickly approaching having a budget has never been more important. While this time of year is filled with cheer, naturally we all know it brings additional expenses. San Diego has many holiday supports and services to give back to those active duty families that give by serving all year long!

Join us and hear from representatives from Fleet & Family Support Center, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Operation Homefront, and more! The details are below:
