Help others Benefit from our Services

 

Here at Marine Parents, we strive to help you navigate every stage of your recruit or Marine's career in the Corps, beginning from when he or she is a poolee and still waiting to ship out to MCRD. 

We now offer a "Corps Kit Recruiter Heads Up!" option that allows you, the Marine Parents family, to order your own presentation kit to take to parent and poolee functions and give to your recruiter to share with that recruiter how Recruit Parents and Marine Parents has been beneficial to you in your journey so far. The recruiter will then be able to order a Poolee Kit for distribution at events via return postage with the included paid envelope.

 

Not only will this help expose more people to our organization, but to thank you for taking the time to do this, we'll include a Marine Parents key chain and Parent Packet for you to keep at no additional charge. Click here to order your "Corps Kit Recruiter Heads Up!" today.

Every Purchase Supports Our Troops

 

For the last twelve years, you've been there for us and, more importantly, for our Marines. During that time, thanks to your love and support, more than 39,000 care packages have been sent to deployed service members, more than 93,000 cards and letters have been sent, and thousands of meals have been served to Wounded Heroes, and countless families and individuals have sought and found comfort, answers, and strength in the Marine Parents community. None of this would have been possible without your ongoing support, whether it be through donations to MarineParents.com or by shopping at the EGA Shop, where 100% of the proceeds support the outreach programs and services of MarineParents.com, Inc.  for supporting your fellow military families!

Tracy Della Vecchia, Founder and Executive Director, leads the operations from the corporate office in Columbia, Missouri with staff, volunteers, and a volunteer Board of Directors. In addition to the moderated, OPSEC-compliant social media groups, chat rooms, and informative websites, several outreach programs to support Marines and families before, during and after the Marine Corps are provided by the organization. Funding for the programs is through donations, grants, fundraising and EGA Shop sales. In 2009, the 15-item online store began expansion, eventually becoming the EGA Shop. In 2010, the production facility was established on-site to design and develop custom product, dramatically boosting sales and providing additional funding for the outreach programs. The organization is an official Marine Corps Trademark licensee.
