Our organization is comprised of members from all walks of life with a common connection: all are relatives of those who served overseas in a location of foreign conflict.
Nearly 470,000 members in more than 3,600 Auxiliaries across the nation work to improve the lives of veterans, service members and their families, and their communities in a variety of ways.
When you join the VFW Auxiliary, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Support Veterans, Service Members and Their Families
The VFW Auxiliary offers numerous avenues for service, such as hospital volunteering, the adoption of military units and promoting patriotism. Anyone with a heart for veterans can count their membership as an important way to stand with veterans and the military community on Capitol Hill and in local legislative battles affecting them.
- Develop New Skills
The VFW Auxiliary offers numerous ways for members to acquire and utilize skills such as leadership, public speaking, fundraising, event planning and community outreach.
- Network and Develop Friendships
Through local and national events, members have the chance to meet people from all walks of life and many career backgrounds, creating a vast network of people who are passionate about veterans, service members and their families.

"All
Aboard: Every Member, Every Stop, Every Opportunity”
Hello Riders! The Membership Train has
officially left, and July is all about building your passenger list. This is
the month to set the tone, set the pace, and set your goals high.
The
Membership
Train represents who we are: a strong, steady, mission‑driven organization
built on movement, momentum, and connection. Every member is a passenger with a
role to play. Every Auxiliary is a station where people are welcomed,
supported, and encouraged to stay involved. And every stop along the way offers
new opportunities to grow, reconnect, and strengthen our ability to serve
veterans and their families.
