• Calimesa Library
• Calimesa Senior Center
Most-needed items:
Deodorant, travel-size Q-tips, protein bars, coffee, candy, wet wipes, drink mix, beef jerky, canned meat, fruit snacks, ChapStick, and trail mix.
Prefer to shop online? Scan the QR code on the flyer to shop MilVet’s Amazon registry. Be sure to type “Calimesa” in the gift comments so our city receives credit!
Whether you donate one item or a bag full, your contribution matters. Help us spread the word, encourage your friends and neighbors to participate, and let’s make Calimesa proud while supporting our troops.
