Community Service

Save the date for Saturday, December 19th from 7am-12:30pm.For our December service event, we will be volunteering with the Jacksonville Toys for Tots program. The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
We will be helping out with their toy distribution on Saturday, December 19 from 7:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The distribution will take place at the Regency Sqaure Mall.
The organization wants to have ideally between 35-45 volunteers per shift. So we will be paired up with a different organization during our shift time.
To learn more about the organiztion, you can visit their website: http://jacksonville-fl.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/Default.aspx
