Our guest on this week's episode is Col. Ted Silvester USMC (Ret.) and VP, marketing & development, for the  Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Each year, the United States Marine Corps Reserve and its partners undertake one of the nation's largest toy drives, Toys for Tots. The organization's goal is to assure that all children have toys for Christmas morning. It takes an army – or rather a Marine Corps - of volunteers and corporate partners to pull it off. Col. Silvester shares about the logistics behind the annual campaign. As we close our 2023, it is natural to look ahead to 2024. While 2023 was a down year for logistics, there is some hope that conditions will improve in the coming year. A new report from Prologis offers some insights into prospects for the logistics sector and the major trends that will affect the industry in 2024.Electric vehicles (EV) for last-mile delivery remain in demand around the world, according to a recent market report from research firm Global Market Estimates. The group says the EV market for last-mile delivery will grow at a nearly 16% compoundannual growth rate (CAGR) between 2023 and 2028, driven largely by demand formore sustainable business practices in general, as well as government policiesand incentives to purchase EVs. CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:Toys for TotsPrologis says global freight recession will reverse in 2024Report shows EV market for last mile delivery set for growthGet episode transcriptsVisit Supply Chain QuarterlyListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Quarterly's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@dcvelocity.comPodcast is sponsored by: PERCOther linksAbout DC VELOCITYSubscribe to DC VELOCITYSign up for our FREE newslettersAdvertise with DC VELOCITYTop 10 Supply Chain Management Podcasts

Veterans are a unique breed of individuals. They are the only demographic in the nation tied together by the oaths they take to the country and the values they hold instilled in them from the moment they step off that bus at boot camp. As they continue through life, the values, like duty and selfless service, continue to drive many of them to not walk past problems in their communities. When they see a need they step up to meet it. It's just who they are.   During this episode of the #StillServing podcast, Host Rob Couture speaks with Lt. Gen. (USMC, Ret.)

On todays episode Jordan meets with Sgt. Reinhold of Marine Toys For Tots. While stationed in Camp Lejeune in 2018, he was ordered to transfer to Raleigh and began his journey with the charity and has been very passionate about his involvement ever since. Toys For Tots began back in 1947 by Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks. Actually his wife Diane. She wanted to donate some dolls to children in need but they couldn't find an organization that did that. So they created one. Presently, the Marine Toys for Tots Program distributes an average of 18 million toys to 7 million less fortunate children annually. They are an amazing charity that brings the joy of Christmas and sends a message of hope to us all.

LtGen Jim Laster, USMC (Ret), President & CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, says “We are proud to partner with Good360 who answered the call to help get these toys into the hands of families in need as soon as possible.”

Sleep in Heavenly Peace (0:00:00) We have a question for you: How many of you listening are wishing you were in bed right now? Some days, we might feel like our beds are our best friends, and all we want to do is curl up in a warm ball of pillows and sheets and never leave ever. Our beds are our little squares of refuge from stress and responsibility we don't want to think about. But how would you feel if you never had a bed? There is an unfortunately large population of people living in the US that don't have a proper bed to sleep in at night. This can cause major damage to sleep, which leads to major physical and emotional issues. This is where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in – a non-profit organization dedicated to delivering bunk beds to children and families in need. Joining us on the show is Amy Andrew, a president for one of the organization's chapters. Saturnalia (0:13:10) When I think of Christmas, I think of hanging lights, wreaths of greenery, feasting with friends and family, and giving gifts. Do you want to hear something I was shocked to learn?  All of these traditions were originally part of a different December holiday, one that celebrated the pagan god Saturn. With us on the show is Dr. Tyler Creer, a professor of ancient Roman history at Brigham Young University, to tell us a little bit about the history of Saturnalia. Resolving Conflict in Private and Public (0:31:22) You are standing in line at the sandwich shop and the couple in front of you starts to bicker. As their conversation gets increasingly heated, your levels of discomfort rise. We've all been bystanders to uncomfortable conversations in public, but have you ever found yourself caught in one? What do you do? Conflict resolution expert Emily Taylor joins us today to share how we can know when to resolve issues in public and when to do it in private. She is also here to share how we can avoid and prepare for those unexpected conflicts with strangers. Betrayal to Resilience (0:50:38) It's been proven that in life, a breakup of a long-term relationship is the number two top stressor, coming in behind being widowed. So, what happens if your long-term relationship ends because of betrayal? How do you deal with a broken heart? Dr. Cade North is a self-made expert in turning personal calamities into hilarious tales and the author of Until Death Do Us Apart. She and joins us to discuss how we can go from betrayal to resilience.  Toys for Tots (1:06:31) There's so much excitement in the air with Christmas coming in just a few days. But for some, these next few days will be ones of stress and despair. There are parents around us worried about how they can possibly afford Christmas for their children this year. So how can we spread some Christmas cheer and help them? Toys for Tots is celebrating its 72nd year of existence. They deliver 18 million toys to an average of 7 million children each year. But they need our help to achieve this fantastic feat. President and Chief Executive Officer for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Pete Osman, joins us to tell us a little bit about how we can help this year. Italian Christmas (1:22:49) The holidays are a season for food and no one loves to feast more than Italians. But even if you aren't Italian, you can still eat like one. Cooking festive Italian dishes is easier than you think and it's sure to make this holiday merry and delicious. Maria Liberati is an award-winning chef and culinary blogger, known as the “Italian Martha Stewart” by Celebrity Society Magazine. She is here to share her favorite Italian recipes that we can make this holiday season.

Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. The program was founded in 1947 by reservist Major Bill Hendricks. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation started in 1989 to make the program sustainable. Listen to the CEO Lt. Gen Pete Osman, USMC (ret) explain the program and all the private support it receives to host Jim Fausone.  In 2019, it will collect about 19 million toys and books to distribute to children in over 810 communities across the United States.   

There are currently more than 15 million U.S. children living below the federal poverty line. Moreover, 1 out of every 3 children lives in a family where neither parent has full-time, year-round employment. Given that many of these parents struggle to provide the basic essentials of food and shelter for their little ones, millions of children risk disappointment on Christmas morning, with no toys under the tree. With demand for assistance remaining high, we are reaching out to your listeners to purchase toys to donate to Toys for Tots – which will go directly to children in need in your community. Fortunately, parents can turn to the Marine Toys for Tots Program during this time of the year. Our Corporate Partners, and most importantly, the American public, have been very supportive during these tough economic times as the demand for toys remains high.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
