What is the VFW Auxiliary Outreach Program?
- Auxiliary Outreach involves Auxiliaries volunteering to help nonprofit organizations, local groups and to
address needs in your community. - Focus is on volunteering, not monetary or in-kind donations.
- Partnership where one or more Auxiliary members help another organization or group to make their project
successful.
The first step in making your Auxiliary Outreach Program successful is reaching into your
community.
Here are a few other basic steps:
- Find local groups and organizations in need of assistance.
- Ask what your Auxiliary can do to help them.
- Vote at an Auxiliary meeting to approve the activity.
- Form a partnership.
- Report the details.
