Operation Wipeout
"Operation Wipeout" 2026
“Operation Wipeout" is part of a community outreach program where American Legion Post 205 of Bluffton, SC is benefiting the Marines of Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort , the Parris Island Training Depot and the
Sailors of the Beaufort Naval Hospital.
This year marks the fifth year of "Operation Wipeout". By providing diapers of different sizes, this eases the financial burden on the families serving our nation. We ask for your kind donation, in any amount, to help these families. Diapers are not cheap and as with just about everything, the prices are going up! We hope to deliver the diapers in early summer. The deadline to make a donation is June 2026 to go toward the purchase of baby diapers. Donations, in any amount, are perfectly acceptable.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and for your kind support of
American Legion Post 205, Bluffton, SC. If you wish to donate to "Operation
Wipeout" through the mail, please make out your check to American Legion Post 205. Memo line "Operation Wipeout" and mail your check to:
American Legion Post 205
P.O. Box 2376
Bluffton, S.C. 29910
With best regards, David A. Robbins, Chairman, "Operation Wipeout" &
Past Commander (2019-2022), Post 205, Bluffton, SC
