Operation Wipeout
OPERATION WIPEOUT
“Operation Wipeout” is now two years old, and Post 205 will continue to provide The Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) and the Training Depot at Parris Island items that they need. The items needed by the young military families continues to be baby diapers. Our goal has been to provide at least $1,000 worth of diapers of varying sizes on an annual basis.
Your charitable contribution will go a long way in helping these young military families. We hope to make delivery of the diapers each spring. The “Operation Wipeout” Committee already has a pretty good idea of the diaper sizes the families require so there should be no problems. If we should require assistance regarding the transportation of the many boxes of diapers, we will let you know.
UPDATE: The diapers were delivered on July 12, 2024, by the 'Diaper Brigade' to the joy of Family Services personnel at MCAS.

2024 Post 205 Charity Golf Tournament
September 7, 2024
Post 205 makes a difference Veterans and their families by supporting the Charleston Fisher House. The Fisher House provides free lodging and meals to families of Veterans receiving medical care at the VA Hospital. We also make a difference to students that receive scholarships that come from contributions from the Tournament. The Golf Committee thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and contributions.
Anyone can volunteer in some capacity. Again, thank you to all that participated, our donors, our sponsors and most of all, the hard-working committee and the Auxiliary 205 for all they did at last year's Tournament.
