Kinecta Federal Credit Union Serves Free Meals To Military

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — To show gratitude for their bravery and sacrifice, Kinecta Federal Credit Union teamed up with Bob Hope USO, a long-standing partner, to distribute free meals to approximately 150 newly enlisted service men from local branches of the military on September 10, 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, Kinecta, and chair of the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce board of directors. “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 nation, 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.
