Volunteer to help bag toys at the Toys for Tots factory

November 27th and December 17th

This year, we are working hard to make 2020 a brighter year for those less fortunate. We are working with Toys for Tots to not only collect toys, but we are asking you to consider volunteering to help bag toys at the Toys for Tots factory between November 27th and December 17th. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to Austin Stukins, VFW Post 3137 Toys for Tots Coordinator. Austin will coordinate between you and the factory to find a time that works in your schedule.

As a post, we will be asking folks to circle Friday December 11th and Saturday December 12th on their calendars. Austin will be asking volunteers to come out in force to help at the factory on those dates. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, volunteers must sign a waiver prior to volunteering and a limited number of volunteers will be allowed in the factory at a time, so please, coordinate with Austin prior to volunteering.

Austin can be reached at austin.stukins@me.com or by phone/text at (337) 322-8077.

Let's make this year special for these kids.

VFW and VFW Auxiliary (VAVS) Representatives for Ralph H Johnson VA Medical Center are reaching out to to ask for your support concerning a priority unmet need of our Charleston area veterans. There is a need of Winter coats and shoes/boots for these veterans. It's a great opportunity for our Post Members to to help provide these essential clothing items for these veterans.

The coats and shoes/boots must be NEW and the sizes that are most needed are as follows: Coats (size large, extra large, and 2 extra large). Shoes (size 10-13, including half sizes. There will be very specific distribution of these items to the veterans managed by Ralph H Johnson VA Medical Center. 2020 has been a very difficult year so far. Helping to fulfill these unmet needs for these local veterans would be an a very positive step.
