Reedsburg VFW Post 1916

09/11/2026

We would like to thank Habitat for Humanity of Wisconsin River for their Day of Remembrance and Service in Portage. Members of VFW Post 1916 assembled goodie buckets and doggie containers for the Police, Fire, and EMS Departments across Sauk and Columbia Counties. After, we had the pleasure of presenting these buckets to our Reedsburg Police and EMS Departments. We will present the Fire Department their bucket on Tuesday evening.
