WoodmenLife Chapter 4645, which is located in Brenham, has been giving back to the community this summer.
Back in June, they brought meals to the Brenham Police Department and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office as a way of thanking the officers for all that do to keep the community safe.
Last week, the organization presented American flags to each of the Brenham ISD campuses.
Recruiting Manager Amanda Kohring said Woodmen Life has presented flags for many years to all the schools in Brenham ISD.
She added that WoodmenLife has always promoted American patriotism, and that’s why they’ve presented more than 3.5 million flags to nonprofit organizations, schools and communities nationwide.

They also hold appreciation events for first responders and veterans, and presenting the annual American History Awards at 8th Grade recognition ceremonies for the Brenham Junior High School.
