About Operation Little Angels
There
are many abusive situations in existence in our world today. You
can do something to help! The Marine Corps League Auxiliary is
launching a program for its members to become aware of things they can
do to aid those who are hurting. Please help the little angel.
Contact your local area Child Abuse Center, Children's Home, or any
organization affiliated with child abuse. These
places need items for children from newborn to 17 years of age.
Items needed are
formula, booties/socks, all sizes of clothes, shoes, coats, blankets,
soft cuddly toys, cribs,
sheets, and other necessary items. Some of our angel are removed
from the abusive situations
in the middle of the night with nothing but the clothes on their back.
