SBT recently lent $20,000 interest free to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Largo, Florida. The old VFW lodge burned down leaving many veterans without a place to gather. Bill Haynes, a valued SBT employee and VFW member, brought this community need to the company’s attention.

The lodge served as a place for veterans to socialize and re-assimilate back into civilian life. The $20,000 loan allowed the VFW to purchase a new lodge and resume their gatherings. The VFW provides veterans with access to a vast network of resources and helps members find support and community among people who have had similar experiences. Bill Haynes expressed gratitude to SBT, “Thank you very much from the membership of VFW post 10094 and myself.”
