PROGRAMS

Community involvement always has been  a VFW priority.

The benevolence of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and its Auxiliaries extends beyond the realm of veterans helping veterans.

On an annual basis the VFW & Auxiliaries donate more than 13 million volunteer hours of community service. VFW members  mentor youth groups, help in food kitchens, volunteer in blood drives and visit hospitalized veterans. Others help veterans file compensation claims or are "voicing their vote" with elected officials.

VFW's Community Service programs encourage community service and increase civic pride, which enhances education, improves the environment & ensures the availability of health services for ALL veterans.

VFW's Citizenship Education program is designed to stimulate interest in America's history and traditions and to promote citizenship, civic responsibility and patriotism.

VFW's Youth Scholarship programs provide more than $3.5 million in scholarships to our nation's youth. They include Voice of Democracy, Patriot's Pen youth essay contest and Boy Scouts of America.

The VFW's partnership with the Boy Scouts of America includes the sponsoring of more than 1,200 Scouting units with 40,000 members across the nation.

VFW's Safety Program encourages VFW Posts and Auxiliaries to conduct programs in home, auto and bicycle safety, as well as programs dealing with drug awareness and substance abuse.

The VFW National Home for Children is a community development in a family like environment that is home to orphaned or single parent children of VFW or Ladies Auxiliary members. The home, which was established in 1925 on 160 acres in Eaton Rapids, Mich., emphasizes the values of education, good work habits and sound moral character.

Whether providing scholarships to the nation's youth or helping veterans receive the entitlements they have earned, the VFW is there honoring the dead by helping the living.
