Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who answered the call, and recognize the military families whose lives were forever shaped by what followed.

Twenty-five years later, the impact of 9/11 is still felt across generations of service members, veterans, and families.

The Armed Services YMCA San Diego stands with our military community today and always. 🇺🇸

September spots for Operation Kid Comfort are now open! 💕

Through this special program, we provide handmade quilts filled with cherished family photos, bringing warmth, comfort, and lasting memories to children during their parent’s deployment.
For active duty members currently deployed or preparing for deployment, this is a heartfelt way to remind your little ones that love knows no distance.

How It Works:
🧵 Eligibility: Children must be 12 or younger and have not received a quilt from any Armed Services YMCA branch before.
🧵 Timing: Requests can be submitted up to 8 weeks before or 8 weks after deployment. Processing takes approximately 12+ weeks.
🧵 Cost: A small $15 flat shipping fee per child ensures delivery of this priceless gift.
Military families give so much; let us give back by creating lasting memories for your little ones during deployment.

✉️Please Contact: Ellaine at [email protected] with any quilt questions.

Supporting military families where they serve. 💙

As families prepared for a new school year, our Armed Services YMCA team at Naval Medical Center San Diego was proud to support the hospital’s annual Back-to-School Event.

Through the dedication of our team and the generosity of our community, approximately 300 backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed to active-duty service members and their families.

This is just one example of the work our Armed Services YMCA team does every day at Naval Medical Center San Diego—connecting service members and their families with meaningful support, resources, and programs that help ease the unique challenges of military life.

Helping children walk into the classroom feeling prepared, confident, and supported is part of how we strengthen military families and serve those who serve.
