A nonprofit group ensured hundreds of military families in the Camp Pendleton area will have a proper meal this holiday season at an event in Oceanside on Saturday.

Beginning at about 10 a.m., military members and their families gathered at the QLN Conference Center for the Holiday Meals for Military event put on by Operation Homefront.

During the event, organizers said they handed out 500 free “meal kits” which included every grocery item the families would need to cook a full holiday meal.

Around 30 volunteers helped bag the groceries and carry the items out to the family’s cars, according to event organizers.
