Reaching out to the community is vital to our organization, by developing relationships with
community leaders, media, school faculty and local civic groups which greatly assist each post in
achieving the VFW mission.
Each post is expected to engage in and report Community Service projects. All projects will be
reported using the Department activity report form, using the guidelines set forth by the Activities
Evaluation Director.
The Program reporting period is May 1st through April 30th
