In September Mathis Brother's Furniture donated a table to the Warr Acres FOP Lodge #145.  The table will be used in the break room where officers have shift line-up and eat meals.  The table replaces a many year old folding table that was in poor condition.  The new table allows more officers to sit in the same space when meeting or having shift line-up.  Special thanks to Mathis Brother's Furniture and Officer Seth Branam for coordinating this donation.  Pictured are Stever Russell and Erica Riley of Mathis Brother's Furniture, along with Lodge President Mike Anderson and Secretary Treasurer Darryl Goodman.

The Warr Acres FOP Lodge #145 supports the Putnam City Public Schools Foundation Care Share Program.  Each holiday season the Lodge raises money to support this program.  Private companies and individuals support this program with donations which the Lodge uses to ensure these families have  the holiday that they may not otherwise be able to enjoy without our support.  We contract with a local company to coordinate these donations,and they conact local residents and businesses.  Donations may be mailed to the Lodge at the address below or online donations may be made using your credit or debit card by clicking on the DONATE button below.  We utilize PayPal for this processing, but a PayPal account is not required.  For more information on the Putnam City Care Share Program CLICK HERE
