Atlantic Marine Corps Communities (AMCC) residents on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune got to see Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and the Grinch this week as AMCC hosted its annual “Home for the Holidays” event in a socially distanced, drive-thru fashion, Dec. 9.
More than 500 kids living on Camp Lejeune received goodie bags and toys courtesy of AMCC and its partners.
For AMCC project director John Giltz, the event is about creating a sense of community for AMCC’s residents.
“It is a wonderful event and an opportunity for us to see the community in a different way,” Giltz said. “It’s important for me [and] our staff to do that just to continue to show that we are here and committed to them.”
