James D Piper VFW Post 12118 Ladies Auxiliary press release re: Recognition of Umpqua Bank




On June 27, 2014, representatives from the Copperopolis James D Piper VFW Post 12118 Ladies Auxiliary recognized Umpqua Bank – Copperopolis store - for their ongoing support of the VFW Auxiliary's 'Support the Troops' care packages campaign.

With the help of Umpqua Bank and continued community support, the Copperopolis VFW Ladies Auxiliary has been able to ship 19 packages to troops overseas just this year. Many of those boxes were shipped to local Calaveras residents serving our country overseas.

Last year, again with help from Umpqua Bank and the community, the VFW Auxiliary was able to send over 25 boxes to our troops.

If you would like to donate to the ‘Support the Troops’ campaign you may mail checks to VFW Post 12118, PO Box 584, Copperopolis, CA  95228. Please put support our troops in the memo line.
If you would like shipments sent to someone near and dear to your heart serving overseas, please email the full address of the service member to the Ladies Auxiliary at coppervfw@gmail.com with Ladies VFW in the subject line.
