Auxiliary Outreach

       Program Goals:         

Building

Partnerships

Auxiliary Outreach is not complicated, we volunteer or partner with other organizations.

To be considered Auxiliary Outreach an outreach project must be approved by the members and recorded in the minutes prior to the project.

In rare instances such as natural disaster or emergency community needs the members may vote after the fact. Those participating must wear the Auxiliary emblem on a shirt, jacket, hat, or pin.

Even if only one member shows up, it still counts as Auxiliary Outreach. By seeing members, in the VFW Auxiliary attire, partnered with other groups, at events and programs to benefit the community, we show our belief in sharing our most valuable asset…. our time.
