This week I wanted to take a break from the history part of the site and focus on the military part of the stories. So this week we will feature two great non-profit organizations that look to make the world a little bit better fo those that have served or are serving and their families.
The Marine Corp- Law Enforcement Foundation provides scholarships for the children of Marines or Federal Law Enforcement agents that lose their lives in the line of duty. Its a great way to give back to those who give so much to protect us.
A little blurb from Their Site:
Our Mission
Thanks to our generous donors, MC-LEF currently provides a $30,000 scholarship account for every child who loses a parent serving in the United State Marine Corps or any Federal Law Enforcement Agency. Since our founding in 1995, MC-LEF has awarded over $70 million in scholarships and other humanitarian assistance, and has supported over 3,500 children. Although MC-LEF is immensely proud of our work to date, there is still much to be done to support the families of America’s Marines and Federal Law Enforcement Officers. Please consider clicking on our “Donate” button to help support our mission and cause.
Right now with the holidays giving is easier than ever. Chances are you are going to be using Amazon, so use https://smile.amazon.com and select the MC-LEF as your non-profit of choice and a percentage of everything you spend goes to the foundation without you needing to do a thing. (No, you don’t pay more, Amazon actually foots the bill. All you need to do is shop.)
