"It seems to me that all good Americans interested in the growth of their country and sensitive to its honor, should give hearty support to the policies which the Navy League is founded to further.
For the building and maintaining in proper shape of the American Navy, we must rely on nothing but the broad and farsighted patriotism of our people as a whole."
- Theodore Roosevelt

Homefront San Diego Supporting The Children is a major program of the San Diego Council Navy League utilizing all donated resources from the grant to provide assistance to children of active duty military.
“This funding will allow Homefront San Diego to continue its program of helping young military families with essential items such as Baby Cribs, Car Seats, Strollers and Diapers.” stated Phyllis Barber Vice President of Military Support and Homefront San
Diego.&nsp; “Currently the largest demand for assistance is to support newborn children and emergency food supplies.”

fund of the San Diego Foundation, the Cox Kids Foundation is supported by 1,000 employees who donate funds from their paychecks that are matched 100 percent by Cox Communications. For 2010, the focus area for grants was to provide
programs and services to support local family members of active military personnel, including spouses and especially children.
