✨ Community Spotlight: Edward Jones – Orange, CA ✨

Military Children's Charity (MCC) extends our heartfelt thanks to Matthew Terrones, Financial Planner with Edward Jones and his incredible Office Manager Brianda Hoelzel in the City of Orange, California📍.

Together, they collected 255 STEM toys 🎁 that went directly to Air Force and Space Force children, ensuring these young heroes had a holiday filled with learning, joy, and inspiration.

Not only did they lead this generous STEM toy drive, but they also volunteered at a Holiday Family Day event on Saturday, December 13th, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with MCC to celebrate and honor military families.

👏 Thank you, Matthew and Bri, for stepping up as Americans to appreciate and acknowledge our U.S. Military Children this holiday season. Your dedication reminds us all of the sacrifices these children make so their parent(s) can serve at freedom’s door.

Holiday Family Day at Fort Belvoir 🎄✈️

This past weekend, Military Children's Charity, Inc. (MCC) had the honor of hosting a holiday family day for a Military Intelligence command aboard Fort Belvoir. At MCC, we believe our U.S. Military Children, (especially this remarkable group) are highly intelligent, and this year we wanted to celebrate that in a meaningful way. 🎉

Instead of the usual Barbies 💃 and Hot Wheel 🏎️ toys, every child received quality STEM toys 🔬 designed to spark curiosity and learning. For the first time in sixteen years, our Founder, Isaiah Navarro, also hosted a paper airplane 🛩️ competition with four prizes. The sight was unforgettable! Literally, paper airplanes soaring above families, children in pure joy, and even soldiers joining in the fun.

We know we cannot boil the ocean, but we are determined by 2030, to bring STEM and literacy learning to all 1.6 million U.S. Military Children! These children are the future of America, our next rocket scientists 🚀, doctors 🥼, biologists 🔬, geologists 🪨, and leaders in government service 🎤. In fact, Military Children are statistically more likely to enter the Military and/or national service.

Mission Accomplished! 🚀

Our very first event in Virginia aboard Fort Belvoir for our U.S. Military Children is officially complete—and what an incredible success it was!

We couldn’t have done it without the most amazing all volunteer team of Americans at Military Children's Charity (MCC). Their dedication, heart, and hard work made this milestone possible, and we’re so proud to see our mission in action.

This is just the beginning! Thank you to everyone who helped us take this important first step in Virginia. 💙✨

During our Chief Executive Officer Cherie Johnston's 16 years of leading Military Children's Charity, there are times that she has met with some incredible VIPs, like this meeting she had last weekend aboard Fort Belvoir! Together, Santa Claus and Cherie were discussing the strategic plan for how all nearly 1.6 million U.S. Military Children can receive gifts of appreciation this holiday season, recognizing their repeated sacrifices in order for their parent(s) to serve.

🌟 This , stand with America’s youngest heroes. 🌟

Military children move 8 to 9 times before graduation: new schools, new friends, and constant change. Military Children grow up without the stability many Americans may take for granted, while also enduring long separations from their servicemember parent(s). Your gift to Military Children's Charity, Inc. provides the appreciation and recognition these children deserve. 💙

👉 Donate today and help us give military kids the chance to be recognized for their repeated sacrifices. To donate monetarily, please visit Military Children's Charity, Inc.'s website below, or scan the QR Code attached:

Did you know that our U.S. Military Children relocate sometimes up to 8 or 9 times before their high school graduation! On average, American children move 2 to 3 times. Imagine trying to learn effectively while repeatedly switching schools, with each new location focused on different curriculum.

Also, did you know that U.S. Military Children make up around just 4% to 5% of the 72 million children who reside in the United States today. Although they did not volunteer to serve our nation, they find themselves doing so.

Did you know that U.S. Military Children, on average, may spend several years intermittently separated from their parent in uniform. This is especially challenging during the child's earliest formative (bonding) years.

Many of our U.S. Military Children face 'adult issues' at a very young age, like having a parent leave for a prolonged period of time to serve in a dangerous locale.

At MCC, we recognize that there are many worthy causes that you can donate to this holiday season 🎄, and especially on Giving Tuesday💲. However, I am asking that you please consider making a super simple toy purchase online at our Amazon site (below), which will then be delivered directly to a U.S. Military Child in December, reminding them that American's care about their repeated sacrifices. 🧸
