Annually, a portion of the Service League operating budget is pledged to scholarship assistance. In addition, Scholarship Endowment Funds add income to the distribution of funds annually. Donations, honorariums and memorial gifts continue the growth of these funds. These gifts can be mailed directly to Service League of Hickory (or contact us.)
Honor or remember a special person by completing a Service League Honor Card. These cards are available for a donation of $5 or more. All gifts will be acknowledged and are added to Service League Scholarship Endowment Fund investments.
