FOR EXAMPLE: A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL KEY CLUB, WHICH MAY BE SPONSORED BY THE
KIWANIS CLUB, WOULD QUALIFY AS AN ORGANIZED NONPROFIT YOUTH GROUP. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF THE CHILDREN OF THE LOCAL KIWANIS CLUB MEMBERS VISIT AN INSTALLATION, THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN AD HOC GROUP BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT

TO THE MARINE CORPS (AS IN THE CASE OF FIREFIGHTERS FROM OFF-BASE MUNICIPALITIES HELPING TO CONTROL WILDFIRES ABOARD A MARINE CORPS INSTALLATION) WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR ANY MEALS PROVIDED BY THE MARINE CORPS. EMERGENCY/DISASTER FEEDING UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH LOCAL O&MMC APPROPRIATIONS AS AN EMERGENT AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE. BEFORE INITIATING SUCH A FEEDING PLAN, LOCAL COMMANDS SHALL CONSULT WITH THE CMC (EXECUTION SECTION (RPPB) TO ENSURE THAT, THE SITUATION AT HAND WARRANTS CLASSIFICATION AS AN EMERGENT AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE. LOCAL FOOD SERVICE OFFICES WILL PREPARE PROPER REIMBURSEMENT DOCUMENTS CHARGING LOCAL O&MMC ACCOUNT AND CREDITING THE MPMC APPROPRIATION.
B. FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL, THE MPMC SUBSISTENCE ACCOUNT WILL ABSORB THE COST OF EMERGENCY/DISASTER FEEDING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

STANDARD MEAL RATE. EVERY EFFORT MUST BE MADE TO OBTAIN REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL MEALS PROVIDED. SHORTFALLS RESULTING FROM NON-COLLECTION WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH LOCAL O&MMC APPROPRIATION.
D. AS A MATTER OF BASIC FEDERAL APPROPRIATION LAW THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES HAS NOT MADE ANY MPMC OR O&MMC FUNDS AVAILABLE TO FEED NON-DOD CIVILIANS (CIVILIANS IN COMMUNITY/COUNTY DEPARTMENTS AND SHELTERS)
WHO ARE THE VICTIMS OF DISASTERS/ EMERGENCIES. SHOULD SOME DISASTER/EMERGENCY OCCUR, COMMANDERS ARE AUTHORIZED TO COME TO THE AID OF NON-DOD CIVILIANS/VICTIMS AND PROVIDE SOME TEMPORARY RELIEF WITH THE RESOURCES AT THEIR DISPOSAL (E.G., LABOR, EQUIPMENT, FOOD, WATER). IT IS
PERMISSIBLE FOR A COMMANDER TO ACCEPT PAYMENT FOR THE FOOD/MEALS. HOWEVER, ANY MONEY RECEIVED SHOULD BE DEPOSITED IN THE MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS OF THE
U.S. TREASURY IN ORDER TO AVOID THE CHARGE THAT THE MARINE CORPS IS IMPROPERLY AUGMENTING OUR MPMC APPROPRIATION. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS RELIEF SHOULD ONLY BE "TEMPORARY" IN NATURE BECAUSE WHETHER THE VICTIMS PAY FOR THE FOOD OR NOT THERE WOULD BE NO DIRECT "REIMBURSEMENT" TO MPMC OR O&MMC APPROPRIATIONS. ONLY THE U.S. TREASURY WOULD "BENEFIT" FROM THE PAYMENT. COMMANDS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO STORE RATIONS PROCURED WITH APPROPRIATED FUNDS. CONTINGENCY PLANNING AND FUNDING FOR DISASTER RELIEF SHOULD BE PLANNED AND FUNDED THROUGH THE NATIONAL GUARD AND/OR THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) WHICH HAVE THE MISSION TO FEED THE VICTIMS OF DISASTERS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS CAN CARRY OUT THE MISSION THEMSELVES OR USE THE MARINE CORPS AS AN INSTRUMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION. IT IS THROUGH THESE ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU WILL GET EITHER THE FOOD OR FUNDING TO PROVIDE MEALS FOR VICTIMS, WHICH IN TURN WILL ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATED FUNDS ARE NOT USED FOR THIS OTHERWISE UNAUTHORIZED PURPOSE.
6. SUBSISTENCE SUPPORT FUNDED BY HOST COMMANDS. APPROPRIATED FUNDS CANNOT BE USED TO PAY FOR SUBSIDIZED SUBSISTENCE COST FOR CIVILIAN GROUPS EXTENDED INVITATIONS TO VISIT OR WORK ON A MARCOR INSTALLATION UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY PRIOR WRITTEN AGREEMENT (SUCH AS A MCO, CONTRACT, OR MOU). UNDER SUCH WRITTEN AGREEMENTS, THE COST OF SUBSISTENCE WILL BE BORNE BY COMMANDS LOCAL
O&MMC APPROPRIATION. IN THE ABSENCE OF AN AGREEMENT, THE COST OF SUBSISTENCE ISSUED TO CIVILIANS (VIP, ATHLETES, RETIREES, BOY/GIRL SCOUTS, ETC.) WHEN VISITING/WORKING AND/OR PARTICIPATING IN COMMAND FUNCTIONS (CAPEXS, DEMONSTRATIONS, ETC.) MUST BE BORNE BY THE INDIVIDUAL/GROUP AT THE APPROPRIATE MEAL RATE LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 2, ABOVE. OTHER NONAPPROPRIATED
FUNDS, SUCH AS MARINE CORPS COMMUNITY SERVICES (MCCS), THE CG ENTERTAINMENT FUND OR PREARRANGED COLLECTION FROM VISITORS MAY BE USED TO REIMBURSE THE MESS HALL FOR MEALS CONSUMED. COMMANDS SHOULD INCLUDE SUBSISTENCE SUPPORT
REQUIREMENTS IN LOCAL O&MMC BUDGET BASED ON CURRENT APPLICABLE MEAL RATE. THE LOCAL FOOD SERVICE OFFICE WILL PREPARE THE APPROPRIATE REIMBURSEMENT DOCUMENTS NECESSARY, CHARGING LOCAL O&MMC AND CREDITING MPMC APPROPRIATION.
7. THE SALE, PREPARATION, OR ISSUE OF SUBSISTENCE, OR PREPARED MEALS FROM GARRISON MESS HALLS, IS NOT AUTHORIZED, UNLESS IN SUPPORT OF THE FOLLOWING:
