RHINELANDER - Members of a local VFW used their time Tuesday night to help organizations in their community. VFW Post 3143 donated more than $8,000 to 25 local non-profit organizations. Those checks could go a long way this time of the year.
The veterans have kept the post active since 1980 by having bingo night. They started giving out donations in 2005. The donations come from people who pay to play bingo every Wednesday.
"We'd like to support our community more than we would support Washington politicians," said VFW 3143 Quartermaster Ralph Larson. "Rather stay local because we know it would be going to a good place."
