The NJ LODGE 148 DISASTER UNIT

The formation of Lodge #148's Disaster Assistance Unit has been successful. The FOP National President is using our Lodge as a model for other Lodges to follow if they would like to form a disaster unit.
We are now prepared to assist law enforcement officers in disaster areas with relief supplies, emergency communications, spiritual guidance, crisis intervention, general assistance, etc.
We purchased most of the supplies and equipment that is needed. However, we are looking for some donations. If you would like to donate money, you can send it to FOP Lodge #148, Disaster Assistance Unit, PO Box 2681, Vineland NJ 08362. A separate checking account was established just for these funds.
Thank you to all the members who have made donations already. Your contribution is very much appreciated and has been put to good use.
    If you have any of the following items and would like to donate them, either send them to the address above or contact one of the Lodge officers.
  • 1. New or fairly good black boots (go ahead and clean out the closet - we all have 2 or 3 pair that have never been worn)
    		•
  • 2. New or fairly good black or blue BDU pants
    		•
  • 3. Law enforcement equipment (duty belt items, ammo, pistol and rifle magazines, handcuffs, flashlights, etc)
    		•
  • 4. Canned goods or other non-perishable food items
    		•
  • 5. Travel size hygiene items
    		•
  • 6. New batteries
    		•
  • 7. First aid and medical supplies
    		•
  • 8. New under garments and socks for both men and women
    		•
    If there is something that you would like to donate and it isn't listed, let me know.
    None of these items will go to waste. Don't think your donation is too large or too small. When an officer in a devastated area and has nothing, a package of underwear is like gold to them.
    This is a way to "take care of our own" and you know that 100% of whatever you give is going to an officer who desperately needs it. We would like to thank you in advance for anything you donate to this worthy cause.
    Lenny Whetsel
    President
