David Mucha and his family proudly support "Operation Care Comfort," a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of our service members and veterans. This remarkable organization sends heartfelt care packages to deployed service members, offers complimentary tickets to entertainment and sporting events, and provides crucial emergency financial assistance to veterans in need. As the Bay Area liaison, we coordinate the collection and delivery of care packages, ensuring they reach the San Jose location on a quarterly basis.
