Auxiliary

Unwavering Support for Uncommon Heroes®

For over a century, the VFW Auxiliary has steadfastly pursued its founding missions: supporting the Veterans of Foreign Wars, providing aid to veterans, active-duty service members, and their families, while fostering a spirit of patriotism across the nation. We are an inclusive organization comprising fathers, mothers, siblings, children, and grandparents of those who have honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

We are united by a common belief in Americanism, defined by an unfailing love of country; loyalty to its institutions and ideals; eagerness to defend it against all enemies; unwavering allegiance to the flag; and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and future generations.

Our members have dedicated millions of hours, contributed millions of dollars, and honored countless veterans in meaningful ways. Join us as a volunteer to celebrate and safeguard the freedoms we cherish in America.
