Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

56th Annual VFW Santa Parade UPDATES

With the ongoing COVID19 pandemic and social distancing requirements we have opted to cancel the annual VFW Santa Parade and instead usher Santa around the city on the back of a fire truck. Santa will be making his way around the City while making 6 short stops in order to see more kids and to aid in the collection of new toys and food items for various food pantries serviced by the annual Betsy Conti Food Drive that happens at each parade.
