The Coronado Junior Woman’s Club presented a check to STEP (Support The Enlisted Project) for $15,000 as one of the beneficiaries of their annual fundraiser, A Taste Of Coronado. This donation will be used by STEP during the 2023 holiday season while supporting hundreds of families through fulfilling holiday wish lists. Sponsored families will get to shop at the STEP warehouse that is stocked with items purchased from this donation. In addition, January is historically a hard time financially for enlisted service members and these funds will go towards grants that pay off service member’s lenders if they are in a bind, as well as provide financial counseling to ensure families have the tools to budget better moving forward.

STEP’s vision is to change the lives of military families and Veterans that we serve by helping them achieve financial self-sufficiency.
