Stamp, Tab, and Coupon Programs

The Post’s Stamp program provides cancelled stamps to Veterans Administration Hospitals nationwide for use by recreational services for collection and rehabilitative art programs. Aluminum tabs are given to the Ronald McDonald House to recycle for funds to help cancer patients at local hospitals.

Your coupons are needed to help support our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and their families stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland and at overseas locations. Please bring in your coupons, either clipped or un-clipped, to show your support and to help extend their purchasing power. It’s easy to help and costs you nothing, yet the benefit of your gift goes a long way, even half way around the world! Your coupons may be for any product. Military commissaries accept coupons up to six months beyond their expiration dates. Please bring these items to the next meeting.

This must be requested by the family, and proof of service (discharge or separation document) must be presented to the funeral director.
