also known as MCL Detachment 1308, Central Oregon Marine Corps League, Central Oregon Holiday Toy Drive
About Marine Corps League – Central Oregon Detachment #1308
Central Oregon's detachment of the Marine Corps League, bringing together honorably discharged Marines and Navy corpsmen for fellowship and service. When Toys for Tots paused its Central Oregon operations in 2025, the detachment relaunched the region's holiday toy drive as the Central Oregon Holiday Toy Drive, with Summit Health and Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, keeping gifts under the tree for thousands of local kids. It also hosts the annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball in Bend each November.
Volunteering looks like
The detachment runs the Central Oregon Holiday Toy Drive, and anyone can help: hosting a toy drop box at a business, running a drive or fundraiser, picking up toys from collection sites, and sorting and distributing gifts to families in December. Marines and Navy corpsmen can join the League itself and help with veterans events and the annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball.
