The Post meetings are every second Tuesday of the month at 7PM
Post Members and our Auxiliary actively support VA hospitals and State Veteran Nursing Homes throughout Arizona with thousands of dollars in donations and thousands of hours volunteering.
We support Youth Activities such as the Cub Scouts, Patriots Pen and Voice of Democracy. We also support the VFW National Home for Veteran families in need of assistance.
Our Post is the proud recipient of national awards for community service.
In addition, our VFW Service Officer stands ready to assist Veterans who need help filing disability claims.
In the past our Members served in combat zones and today they continue to serve the community.
