What we do
We provide hotel lodging to familiy members of injured or sick military personnel being treated at Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
We also provide lodging to active duty families with a child admitted to Pitt County Memorial Hospital when lodging is not possible at the Ronald McDonald House.
Learn more about the program, please donate!

We also support and manage the Toys for Tots campaign for Pitt and Martin Counties in North Carolina. Our objective is to ensure no child in the local community goes without a Christmas toy.
Detachment members distributed thousands of toys during the 2009 campaign.

Our Detachment members are involved in numerous activities throughout year and we remain committed to carrying on the traditions of the United States Marine Corps.
