SEA ISLE CITY, NJ – On April 29, the members of VFW Post 1963 Auxiliary made a special trip to Vineland, New Jersey, to deliver a variety of sweets and snacks, hand sanitizer and personal protective equipment – including 125 handmade facemasks – to the residents of the Vineland Veterans Home.
According to Auxiliary President Patti Lloyd, the facemasks were handmade by local high school students Ellie Kutscher and Lily Beard along with Auxiliary members Ellen Rose, Diane McCool and Karen Haugh. The hand sanitizer, food, gloves and other personal protection items were donated by VFW Post 1963 members.
