We have obtained and donated over 20,000 paperback books to Veterans around the State of Michigan.

In addition, baseball caps, lap robes, tee shirts pencils and literally tons of toiletries have been collected by our Detachment and the Auxiliary.

Other Veteran's Facilities that are recipients of these items include the Veterans Homeless shelter in Detroit, Veterans Hospitals in Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Saginaw.
The Cpl Stanley L. Moore Detachment supports and is involved with U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. Each year, members actively participate by collecting and delivering new toys to the the USMCR for distribution to children that may not be able to have a normal Christmas.
