Packing Party for "Operation Handwarmer" Updated
A big "Thank You" to The American Legion Evans, GA for allowing us to use your facilities for the packing party in 2019 .
Without support from people like Larry Miller Century 21 Realty, Bert Dean at Clarion South and Rob Forbes at Moving Canvas Media, iHeart Media, WFXG Fox 54, and the Augusta Chronicle we could not make this program such a success. So many people have helped make this program run so smooth. From the people that help pack boxes to the people behind the scenes that make videos, pickup supplies, supply food, purchase items, mail packages, and put drop off boxes in their place of business.
Thank You All

Thank you Club Car employees for a very successful Operation Handwarmer packing party. Most of the items were taken directly to Army Chaplains who will take these items to our soldiers. The remaining boxes will be shipped to a group already stationed overseas.
It is acts of kindness and support that our service men and women appreciate more than we would ever know.
