What We Do

The Marine Corps League proudly supports our Marines in many areas.

Toys for Tots

We support the Toys for Tots efforts working with the Marine Corps Reserve and Toys for Tots Foundation to raise millions of dollars for the youth of America, collect and distribute millions of toys all across the United States. The Marine Corps League provides funeral honors support to over 10,000 funerals per year. This support allows the Marine Corps (Active and Reserve) to focus more of their resources on mission preparation.

Scholarships

The Marine Corps League supports the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, Semper Fi Fund, Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, Mack's Marines, and the Young Marines. We have several scholarship/award programs including the Merchant Marine Academy Marine-Option Honor Graduate, Marine Corps University LtGen Lejeune (luh-jern) Leadership Award, Delta Dental Scholarship, and college scholarships through the Marine Corps League Foundation.

Support our Marines

One of our most critical missions is assisting transitioning Marines and their families in support of the Marine Corps' Marine for Life program. With our partners at the Marine Corps Association and Foundation, we produce the Marine Military Expositions including Modern Day Marine Expo, Marine West Expo, and Marine South Expo.

We have many programs supporting our Marines, their families, and our community:

  • Veteran Service Officers (VSO).

  • Scouting/Eagle Scout program.

  • Marine Roses program.

  • POW/MIA remembrance.

  • Rifle and pistol competition matches.

  • Volunteer assistance veterans service (VAVS).

  • Color Guards.

Support our Community

We donate time and financial resources to local charities including NJ Vietnam Veterans Memorial, local Fire Departments, Volunteer Ambulance companies and others.

We support our local area Veteran Homes by volunteering, bingo games, and other opportunities as called upon.

We represent the United States Marine Corps at July 4th and other parades and ceremonies in our area.

We provide a Marine presence at the funerals of local area Veteran and other support as called upon.
