🇺🇸Community Board Game & Donation Drive
We are preparing to launch a new Community Soup, Salad & Board Game Night here in Newberg, and we would love your support as we build this from the ground up.
This future event is designed to bring veterans, families, and neighbors together for a simple meal, good company, and a low-pressure evening of connection and fun. Many veterans struggle with isolation. Something as simple as sitting around a table and playing a game can build friendships, improve mental health, and create a strong sense of belonging.
You do not need to be a veteran or affiliated with the VFW or its Auxiliary to attend. This is a welcoming, inclusive event for the entire community. Everyone is invited to come, connect, and be part of something meaningful. We will ask for a small cash donation to attend, and these events will remain free to all veterans as a small but meaningful way to say thank you for their service.
Because of events like this and our community, we are able to provide emergency assistance, outreach, scholarships, and support to veterans and their families right here in Greater Yamhill County. Every donation and every person who shows up truly makes a difference.
We are currently seeking:
🎲 New or gently used board games for all ages
đź’› Cash donations to help purchase additional games, food, door prizes, gift baskets, and supplies
These games will remain at our hall and be used at each event so veterans, youth, and families always have something to engage with. Our hope is to create a warm, welcoming space that continues to grow and serve this community for years to come.
You can donate games, make a financial contribution, or simply share this post to help us spread the word.

Also, do not forget that VFW Post 4015 hosts a community dinner on the first Tuesday of every month. Everyone is welcome. It is another wonderful opportunity to gather, connect, and support the veterans in our community.
Thank you for helping us build connection, community, and support for the veterans who live right here among us.
No One Does More for Veterans.
