Direct community involvement always has been and will continue to be a
VFW priority. The benevolence of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and its
Auxiliaries extends well beyond the realm of veterans helping veterans.
Annually, VFW and Auxiliaries donate more than 13
million volunteer hours of community service. VFW members are mentoring youth
groups, helping in community food kitchens, volunteering in blood drives and
visiting hospitalized veterans. Others are helping veterans file compensation
claims or are "voicing their vote" with elected officials.
Whether providing scholarships to the nation's youth or
helping veterans receive the entitlements they have earned, the VFW is there to
honor the dead by helping the living.
