Conroe Service League Feeds Veterans

CONROE, TX -- The Conroe Service League came out to support the Lone Star Honor Flight Veterans Group (105) this past Wednesday, bringing a potluck breakfast for The Veterans. The CSL serves the group several times per year with their tasty items made in their own kitchens. From Eggs and Bacon, to tasty quiches, potatoes, fruits, etc. And don’t forget the awesome sweets, the ladies are always willing to go out of their way to thank the 105 Vets for their Service to Our Country. This time, several of the ladies brought their homeschool kids to the outing, who were busily handing out sweets to the Veterans, no doubt raising blood sugars to their breaking point, but the Veterans couldn’t say ‘no’ to the kids.

“The ladies of the Conroe Service League are amazing cooks and have hearts of gold!” Said 105 Organizer Darrell May. “The Lone Star Honor Flight Veterans Group is so grateful for their support and we’re blessed to know them!”

The CSL ladies love to visit with the Veterans, and the children learned the value of service, of which the Veterans respond favorably. Their organizational resale shop, The Bargain Box, is such a service to those in the community in search of gently used clothing. They’ve owned and operated the store since 1957, with the help of volunteers, and besides clothes, also have household items, toys and children’s items at greatly reduced prices for the benefit of the Montgomery County community.

“We are always thankful for the Conroe Service League to come out and feed the Veterans,” said Veteran Supporter Billy Ray Duncan. “The ladies are very much appreciated by the guys every time.”

The CSL also provides an eye and visual screening for preschoolers, as well as providing Baby Bundles for new mothers at HCA Conroe Hospital. The group also provides annual scholarships to dozens of county high school students each spring.

The women of Conroe Service League show great community support, and it is greatly appreciated by members and supporters of the 105 Lone Star Honor Flight Group.

“What impressed me the most about The Conroe Service League is not only their commitment to the community, but also their commitment to their own Children,” said 105 member Harvey Yaw. “There were 3 of their children there, serving and honoring the veterans. Thanks ladies for your support and teaching your children about veterans and service to their community.”

The Conroe Service League assists various worthy organizations within Montgomery County including Meals on Wheels, Journey Home, Family Promise, C. C. Hardy Elementary, Boys2Men at Travis Intermediate and Conroe Healthcare Center nursing home. The CSL supports the Heritage Museum with monetary donations each year as well as multiple monetary donations to various local charitable organizations to assist in their ongoing efforts.

“The ladies are friendly, and have a positive attitude, and are great cooks,” said 105 member Robert Gill. “They favorably interact with Veterans they meet while providing nourishing and tasty food.”

The Conroe Service League’s Bargain Box Resale Shop is located at: 123 N. Thompson St. in Conroe.

Store hours: Wednesday- Friday, 10am-2pm. And they are now open on the 2nd & 4th Saturdays of the month.
