Chartered in 1899, the VFW is the oldest and most-experienced non-profit veterans service organization in the United States. Many people believe the VFW organization is funded by the Federal Government, but this is a common misconception. One of the ways the VFW offers the most comprehensive services to veterans is by collaborating with other veteran service organizations and maintaining good relationships with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Donations from individuals and corporate sponsorships are vital to our providing veterans with the grants and services they require. Please make your charitable donation to the VFW this holiday season.
During this episode of The VFW Podcast, Host Terrence Hayes chats with VFW Adjutant General Kevin Jones who speaks about the importance of giving during the holiday season and how the VFW utilizes the charitable dollars to help veterans, service members, and military families. And, VA Senior Advisor and Director of Community Engagement, Anthony Love talks about the Department of Veterans Affairs’ efforts to lower veteran homelessness nationwide. Then, Student Veterans of America President and CEO, Jared Lyon discusses the organization’s priorities and how student veterans can get involved in SVA on campuses and virtually.
