We are again working with Toys for Tots this holiday season to gather donations of toys for children who might not otherwise have a Merry Christmas. We are asking individuals, as well as challenging HAWL organizations, with a friendly rivalry of a one-toy-per-member contest to help us raise enough donations to equal 900 toys (equal to one per household).  If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please call the Office at 601-798-1484. Toys for Tots can only accept new, unwrapped toys or cash donations. Boxes are available at the Lodge to drop off a toy.

December 15th and 18th so be sure that your address is visible from the street.
