To show gratitude for their bravery and
sacrifice, Kinecta Federal Credit Union teamed up with Bob Hope USO to distribute free meals to approximately 150
newly enlisted service members and members from local branches of the military on September 10. The event was hosted just ahead of the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks.
“Through this partnership with Bob Hope USO, we’ve proudly
provided
meal deliveries to hundreds of military service members each year,”
said Latrice McGlothin, community engagement officer at Kinecta. “During
these unprecedented times of social distancing and isolation, the
support we provide these service members by keeping them connected to
family, home and their country is more critical than ever before.”
The event took place at the military entrance processing center in El Segundo,
the
busiest in the nation, swearing in 12,000 Americans. It is the single
largest volume MEPS facility in the country, where nearly 5% of all
military members start their
service.
Bob Hope USO is a private nonprofit organization
that provides services and programming to members of the military and their families throughout Southern California.
