The mission of the OWC is to foster friendship and promote goodwill among OWC members, and to support social, educational, and community projects in and around Camp Pendleton.
The creed of the OWC is service to self, service to each other, service to the community, and service to the future.
The Camp Pendleton OWC was chartered on January 8, 1952. In 2006, the OWC achieved official status as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, exempt from federal income tax, under Tax ID #51-0187547.
OWC Board meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. For more information, please contact our 1st Vice-President at: 1stvicepresident@camppendletonowc.org.
In 2010, the OWC awarded $23,000 in educational scholarships to graduating seniors and military spouses, and in community enrichment grants to organizations that support the Camp Pendleton military community. In the past, such organizations as public schools, the Armed Services YMCA, local and on-base libraries, Boy and Girl Scout Troops, and the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund have received community enrichment grants.
We look forward to continuing our long tradition of service to the community.
