organization that is dedicated to helping veterans and their families.

The Elk Grove Detachment was chartered in 2006 and has been an active member
of the Elk Grove Community from the very beginning.

The funds raised by the detachment are used to support and recognize charitable organizations

whose focus is helping veterans and their families.

To date, we have established a college scholarship fund for Elk Grove Unified
School District students that have chosen to pursue their education beyond high
school.  In addition, we provide financial support to Marines and their families
through the Marine Corps Semper Fi Fund that is based in Oceanside, CA.

The Elk Grove Marine Corps League is an active and integral part of the
community.  We participate in the Veterans Day Parade, the Dickens Faire in Old
Town, Western Days Festival and other community events.

If you are honorably discharged or an active member of the United States
Marine Corps or a Navy FMF corpsman, then you are encouraged to join us in our
efforts to support those who serve.
