On Dec. 16, Jonathan Guthman on behalf of the management of the Home Depot San Pedro store #1005 presented an oversized $1,000 check to Mike Walker, the head of San Pedro Packages for Patriots, a non-profit charity that assembles care packages for U.S. service-members serving overseas. The care packages are filled with essentials like shaving kits, toiletries, notebooks, treats and other items depending on the time of year. Around the holidays, Mike Walker along with a group of volunteers fill the parcels with more Christmas cards, additional candy, small decorations and other comforts the service-member may not be able to have in a foreign country.
