TOYS FOR TOTS 2008 This year the program collected toys and more than $10,000 cash donations which they used to purchase items for the age group most needed by the Toys for Tots Campaign. The final value of the merchandise sent to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Campaign this year was over $41,000.00. The cadets collected toys and donations at the following locations over a two week period: Wal-Mart #1184, 1825 Rockbridge Road, Stone Mountain, GA 30087; Kroger, 3050 Five Forks Trickum Rd Sw, Lilburn, GA 30047; Kroger, 1227 Rockbridge Road, Stone Mountain, GA 30087. On December 13, 2008 several of our cadets and parents used the funds donated to shop for those toys needed most by the Marines. With the help of the staff at both locations, we were able to send a moving van full of toys to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Distribution Center, just in time for Christmas! We would like to thank all of those folks who helped!
FEED THE VETERANS AT THE VA NURSING HOME - On Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 11:00 am, the Parkview High School Marine Corps JROTC Cadets held their Annual Feed the Vets Lunch at the VA Hospital located at 1670 Clairmont Road, Decatur, GA. A crew of 30 Cadets, Marine instructors and Parents volunteered their time to thank the residents of the VA Hospital in honor of Veteran's Day by serving them lunch. We served approximately 120 meals and had the pleasure of speaking with the veterans about their service to our country in all branches of the service. This year we are able to supply the meal with the help of Sonny's BBQ and a contribution from our Booster Association.

TOYS FOR TOTS 2007 This year our cadets exceeded our goal by collecting over 1,500 gifts and over $10,000 in donations for the 2007 Marine Corps Toys for Tots Campaign.
