About Me

LEAVES Military Alliance, Inc exists to help military personnel. Our goal is to show support and encouragement to these valiant men and women. We accomplish this through a three pronged approach. First, we provide a chance to create roots in the community through events and private family dinners. Second we assign a friend and ally to regularly write and send personal gifts while our Service Members are overseas. Third, we seek out situations where we are able to provide "Extraordinary Support" to Service Members and their families. With this these three steps we strive to be examples of both the depth and endurance of Christ's love to these brave men and women.
We build support and friendships through our Extraordinary Care Program. This program allows us to jump quickly when God shows us a need. Recently the generous gifts of our donors and the kind hearts of our volunteers allowed us to: buy groceries for a Military family whose check was delayed, send a portable DVD player to a Marine so he could watch movies of his young son, make Welcome Home banners for a young wife when she gave birth early to her second child just prior to her husband's return, help a young Marine get his driver's license, visit and bring personalized gifts to Servicemembers in the hospital including one diagnosed with lukemia just a week after returning from Iraq, Visit one enrolled servicemember who was unfortunately incarcerated, provide rides to and from the airport for locally stationed Service Members in the program.
You can be a part of this exciting program with a one time or regular gift:
WE ARE A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED NON PROFIT! This means all our funding comes from the generous donations of people like you. Most of our donors are not wealthy people, but sacrificial givers who have a real heart for our military.

"Thank you for everything you are doing for us out here. The support of L.E.A.V.E.S. has been amazing … Thank you for your support."
I want to thank you for everything you have sent me so far, it’s awesome. Especially the Lessons and Cd's I am getting great use out of them. Oh, and I can't forget those great brownies you sent me, thank you so much, everyone loved those :) I wish I could send you stuff to show my thanks, but unless you want dirty socks or a half eaten granola bar I can't do much.
Hey thank you and everyone at L.E.A.V.E.S. for the care packages. I can't thank you enough really. I'm very thankful for your support and everyone else back home. I love getting mail. :-)
This was the best Christmas I have ever had.
I appreciate all the letters and support your organization sends him. Thank you so much for his recent gift, that is so kind.
Got your package and letters yesterday. I think it’s awesome that you guys spend the time to do what you do. We always love to get letters from people.
I think you have done more for me than anyone except my parents.
It is more than just the fun trips; I can tell you guys really care about each one of us.

I'd like to meet:

Camp Pendleton Marines who are bored on the weekends, need a ride, have a friend who needs some extra support or who would like to have a friend send them letters and packages.

Anyone interested in being an Ally or starting a LEAVES branch at their church or group.

Businesses and individuals who would like to donate items, postage or funds.

Individuals, whether local or not, who can donate 1-5 hours per month on the phone and/or Internet from their home. We welcome high school students, college students, and retirees!

Veterans, Family Members, Speakers and Performers interested in appearing at our upcoming fund-raising events in Southern California.

NOTE TO OUR FRIENDS _ Ok, just to be clear and avoid Drama, our Top Friends are organized according to the following formula. Deployed Marines (from latest estimated homecoming date to soonest), Stateside Marines, Spouses and Significant Others, Former Marines, LEAVES Staff. Within these categories they are listed alphabetically. Later categories may be eliminated if the higher ones are too numerous. The only exception is LEAVES Staff which will always appear. We love all our Marines and Spouses equally, they are all number 1 in our hearts!
