Reaching out into our communities is vital to our organization,
developing relationships with community leaders, media, school faculty
and local civic groups can greatly assist each post in achieving the VFW
mission.
Our Post assists homeless veterans, holds monthly mental wellness sessions, provides scholarships to local students, hosts safe child activities and coat drives, supports Sea Scout Ship 117 & many other vital services which improve the lives and wellbeing of veterans and the community.
