Charley With A Y Foundation is sponsoring a VFW Post 399 community blood drive to help patients in need. For planning, the Red Cross Blood Drive will be held on Friday, May 27th between the hours of 1pm – 6pm in the VFW main floor conference room. After donating, please enjoy a free hot dog in our Sandbar Restaurant.
The Home Depot Foundation announced that VFW Post 399 was approved for a building renovation grant in support of our 100th Year Anniversary! The renovation will include replacement of ceiling tile/LED Light fixture upgrades throughout building and flooring replacement for bar, meeting rooms and dining room areas. In addition, painting of the outside entrance portico/porch ceiling. trim and inside wood paneling.
We are extremely appreciative for the support provided by the Home Depot Foundation to help VFW Post 399 better serve the veteran community.
The VFW Post 399 Blood Drive held on Monday, January 13th was a huge success. The American Red Cross was happy with our high number donor turnout. We actually turned people away due to long waiting time throughout the day. Here’s the Red Cross feedback:
“OMG you did absolutely amazing….31 productive, on a goal of 15! I know it was the Hot Dogs!!! I hope you will consider running on more of a routine basis…is there any way I can offer you more dates?
39 Registered

-1 QNS (quantity not sufficient)
After the lab separates the platelets, plasma & red cells you provided 93 productive units for patients!!! Thank you ever so much. What a blessing you are to our area hospitals & patients.”
Again, thank you all for making the VFW Post 399 Blood Drive a success!
