Supporting Our Fighting Fifth and Their Families

When you volunteer with the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group, you become part of something truly meaningful. Together, we stand beside our Marines, Sailors, Wounded Warriors, and their families through every stage of their journey.

What do we do?

Our volunteers proudly:

  • Gather to wish our Marines and Sailors a heartfelt farewell before deployment and warmly welcome them home when they return.
  • Pack and send care packages to deployed service members, bringing a reminder that their community is thinking of them.
  • Host an annual Thanksgiving Dinner for single Marines who are away from home during the holidays.
  •  Help make the holidays brighter by providing toys and gift cards for military children at our annual Holiday Party.
  • Celebrate growing military families by hosting baby showers for our soon-to-be “mini-Marines” and their proud parents.
  • Bake homemade treats for deployments, special occasions, and Marine appreciation events.
  • Host a “Back to School” event for the kiddos gather school supplies
  • Sponsor meals, snacks, and encouragement for the inspiring athletes participating in the Wounded Warrior Trials.
  • Volunteer at Dana Point’s favorite community events—including the Festival of the Whales, Stars, Stripes & Sounds Festival, Shakespeare in the Park, ReDo Markets, summer concerts, our signature Combat Golf Tournament, and the hilarious Laughs for Leathernecks Comedy Show at the Irvine Improv. These events not only bring our community together but also help raise the funds that make all of our programs possible.

How We Have Fun

Every year we host a volunteer appreciation party with great food, awards, and gifts for all the hard work our volunteers do for our Marines, sailors, veterans, and their families.
