Thank You bakers & buyers for making our first Auxiliary Bake Sale, since March 2020, a great success!

Hope to see you at our bake sale table on Thurs., Oct 5th, 6-8PM.

Pre-Pandemic: Our Ladies Auxiliary was the only nonprofit holding monthly bingo parties at the American Lake VA Blind Rehab (In-Patient) Center. Volunteers are now able to return to Blind Rehab. Please consider volunteering 3 hours of your time, once a month—to call Bingo or assist a blind patient at the VA. Contact Barbara Skinner (253) 678-1256.
​
The VA TRansitional Housing 22 residents are always in need of bus passes, Safeway gift cards, kitchen supplies (i.e., dish soap, tall trash bags, sponges & scrubbing pads) and bathroom supplies (i.e., Clorox wipes, bathroom cleaner, toilet paper). Please deliver your donations to the American Lake VAVS office or drop them off at the Post.
​
Holiday Meals Community Canned Food Drive: Gloria Harris is collecting non-perishable food to supplement Holiday Meals for our active-duty & Veterans Families In-Need: mac & cheese, stuffing, vegetables, cranberry sauce, cake mixes & frosting.
