GREATER BANGOR AREA DETACHMENT COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS
Marine In Need Program
As Marines, we received training from our first day of service to always remain faithful to our God, Country, and Corps. This belief is expressed in the motto of the Marine Corps, "Semper Fidelis," which means "Always Faithful" As Marines, we accept that belief and strive to "take care of our own.". From time to time we learn of a local Marine in need of assistance, and true to our belief, we provide assistance to that Marine as needed. Whether the cause for the needed assistance is the result of a family crisis, a medical issue, unemployment, or some other reason, it is irrelevant to us. The only consideration is that a fellow-Marine is in need and requires our assistance.

The program serves to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, and patriotic
