USS Challenger’s Toy Drive

Throughout December 2025, members of the USS Challenger donated toys to children in need through local drives. There are drop-off locations in every city and county in New Jersey. This was part of a wider charitable effort by the STARFLEET Marine Corps to support Toys For Tots.

Challenger CO Admiral Bob Vosseller along with FCAPT Emily Vosseller dropped off their toy donations at Slice House, a pizzeria in Tom’s River. Commander Julia Victor brought her donations to the Ocean County Mall. LTJG Vince Ceraso brought his to a supermarket in Sewell.

Many STARFLEET officers in Region 7 reported participating in their local toy drives each year. If you have unopened toys, please consider a donation to children in need.

The next ship monthly meeting is on January 4th, 2026. Business Meeting 12-1, Fun meeting 1-3. 1000 Bay Blvd., Seaside Heights, NJ.
