Last night we hosted the family of Margaretha Simpa, a 40+year Auxiliary member. She passes away just shy of her 92 birthday. We draped the Charter in honor of Margaretha. She was best known for doing anything for everyone! You could have found her serving lunches on Veterans at the young age of 85 years old. She will be missed

Are you familiar with the eleven Programs VFW Auxiliary members participate in every year?

They are: Americanism, Auxiliary Outreach, “Buddy”® Poppy & VFW National Home, Extension & Revitalization, Historian & Media Relations, Hospital, Legislative, Membership, Scholarships, Veterans & Family Support and Youth Activities.

On a National level, there is an Ambassador for each Program, while Department and local levels have Chairmen, but one does not need to be an appointed leader to get involved! There is something for everyone.

Find your focus by learning more about each of our wonderful Programs on our website, linked in bio and below.
