What is the Ladies Auxiliary?

The Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW, which was founded in 1914 to help veterans and their families, is an integral part of the VFW volunteer efforts. Promoting patriotism and helping veterans in need are just two of the many ways that the Auxiliary serves their Posts and America's communities. The Ladies Auxiliary also has its own volunteer programs directed at VA, state and community hospitals.

Eligibility

Wives, widows, mothers, foster and stepmothers (who have performed the duties of parent), grandmothers, daughters, granddaughters, foster and stepdaughters (who attained that status prior to the age of sixteen and for whom the duties of parent were performed), sisters, half sisters, foster and stepsisters (who attained that status prior to age sixteen) of persons who were or are eligible for membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Members must be citizens of the United States and not less than sixteen years old.

Women eligible for membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States shall be eligible for dual membership in the Ladies Auxiliary.

Meetings

Ladies Auxiliary VFW meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM at the Post Home.

Dues

The annual dues for our Auxiliary is $25. For those who wish to make a life long commitment to the VFW, Life Memberships are available in the Ladies Auxiliary.

Rewards of Membership

Just like the VFW, Auxiliary members receive all sorts of rewards from their memberships -- from life long friendships, and organizational skills, to insurance policies, travel discounts, and Credit Union membership. Check out more benefits offered by our National organization.

In addition, a portion of our dues goes toward our cancer program, where we assist members stricken with Cancer. Also, all Auxiliary members can obtain a Cancer Grant from the National organization, in the event that they are stricken with Cancer.
