Our program is annual and all contributions stay in our local area York County . We collect new toys and distribute to children who would otherwise have little or no Christmas.

 

Operation Rudolph

We collect and send gifts and toiletries to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Coast Guard, and Marines in harms way through out the year, and with special effort at Christmas.

 

Fallen Warrior Scholarship 

This year was our 3rd; we provided 2 scholarships to College students. The candidates write essays and a panel of judges pick the winners. Past year’s topic s were   “What the U.S. Flag means to me”.    “A Veteran that has influenced me?”

Wounded Warrior Barracks

We support the wounded Sailors and Marines recuperating from injuries from war zones. Most are learning to use artificial limbs. The Barracks is in North Carolina at Camp Lejeune .

 

Trikes for Tikes

We supply local children that have special needs with trikes that are made to fit these Needs. These trikes normally are too expensive for their family to afford so we provide at no charge.

 

Junior ROTC Programs

We work with several Local High School JROTC Programs and sponsor awards and opportunities to earn recognition. We helped send a Navy JROTC to Washington, DC to represent South Carolina . We participated in several events with Fort Mill Marine JROTC and Nation Ford Marine JROTC.

 

Fisher House

This is a facility for veterans’ families to stay at when their loved one is in the VA Hospital is in for serious problems or surgeries and are there for an extended time. Most live too far to commute. This service is provided at no cost to these families during these trying times.
