Greeting Cards

If you have extra greeting cards (Birthday Cards) that you would like to donate to the Charleston V.A. Hospital Volunteer Office, please bring them to the Lodge and use the box marked for donations to the veterans. They are distributed to the hospitalized veterans. Thank you for your support.

Cell Phone Recycling

We're still collecting cell phones. Drop off your old phones in the box in the lounge located on the counter near the corner TV. We collect them periodically and donate them to the CELL PHONES FOR SOLDIERS program. No chargers, cords, batteries, or holders please. Thanks for your support.
