VFW Auxiliary Family Freedom Festival

Saturday December 5, 2020 from 2:00-5:00 PM

Please join us in celebrating the Family Freedom Festival on Saturday, December 5, 2020 from 2:00 - 5:00. The purpose of this family friendly festival is to promote community awareness and youth education about the mission of the VFW, and how the Auxiliary assists in meeting the goals of the mission.

We will be doing it a little differently this time. We will be set up inside the VFW Post 3137, and invite everyone to attend. We will be selling wreaths and ornaments. We will have individually wrapped candy for the kids, as well as flags and bookmarks. We will have corn holes set up for the kids in the back, and much more!

Please plan to stop by the Post and bring your family and friends! And you can also bring a new, unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots if you wish.

We hope to see you there to support your Post on the Coast™!

Pearl Harbor Day Memorial Ceremony - Live Video Stream

Monday December 7, 2020 @ 11:00am-12:30pm

Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum's annual Pearl Harbor Day ceremony will be closed to the public this year (2020) in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.  The community is encouraged to watch the event through a live video stream on December 7, at 11 a.m. on www.facebook.com/patriotspoint.org.

The service, organized together with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 10624, will include a wreath-laying, tolling of a bell, and a traditional gun salute to honor the 25 known South Carolinians who were killed during the 1941 attack by the Japanese.

VFW Post 3137 will be represented by the Post Commander, Adjutant and Auxiliary members.

Volunteer to help bag toys at the Toys for Tots factory

Between 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.
