MEMBERSHIP

WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR AUXILIARY

Members of the VFW Auxiliary are the relatives of those who have served in overseas combat. The VFW Auxiliary started with a small group of women who wanted to serve Veterans; it has grown exponentially and now includes both males and females as members.  We are proud to support and help Veterans (both VFW Members and non-members) and Active Duty/Reserve Military Members and their families
in honor of the sacrifices and commitment of every man and woman who has served in uniform
