BECKLEY -- The Friends of Coal Ladies Auxiliary “Giving Hearts” program consists of numerous projects, one of them being our deployed troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In 2009, the Friends of Coal Ladies Auxiliary contacted the Golden Knights concerning our deployed military. At that time, they were supplied with a “wish list” from outposts in Afghanistanand Iraq. In that year, they provided such items as a flat-screen television, DVDs, magazines, canned fruit, mixed nuts, candy, foot powder, anti-bacterial wipes, vapor rub and eye drops. These items were sent to 500 deployed troops.
In 2010, the auxiliary collected food at the Auto Fair and sent that to a West Virginia Guard Unit to Iraq. Along with the food items, they supplied over 100 troops with magazines, DVDs, candy individual antibacterial wipes, as well as air fresheners and many other personal items.
