The members of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars live by the motto, “Honor the dead by helping the living.” We set out to serve the veterans of this country and our communities as a testament to the sacrifices and commitment of every man and woman who has served in uniform.
The members of the Ladies Auxiliary VFW are committed to serving veterans and their families, promoting pride in America, teaching young people about the cost of freedom, and serving the community. To meet these goals the organization’s 550,000 members throughout the United States, Germany, Guam and Panama conduct the following programs:
· Americanism: Celebrating our heritage of freedom with the Statue of Liberty’s Birthday Celebration, working towards a resolution of the POW/MIA situation, promoting pride in America, and ensuring that the public will never forget the sacrifices of America’s soldiers who protect our freedom.·
Cancer Aid & Research: Providing grants to members with cancer, helping in the educational effort to make the public aware of the importance of early detection, and supporting research throughout the country.
· Community Service: Cooperating with other organizations to meet the needs in our communities.
· Hospital & Veterans Affairs Voluntary Services: Volunteering in hospitals and outpatient facilities around the country.
Legislative: Keeping members up-to-date on all bills affecting veterans and their families and the national defense. Making legislators aware of our positions.
· Veterans & Family Support: Assisting veterans as they return from active duty or from the hospital as they try to return to civilian life. Helping veterans and their families with transportation, childcare, and other services as needed.
