Eligibility Requirements
Mission:
Since 1914 the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars
of the United States has worked to ensure that America's veterans will not
be forgotten and those who need assistance will get it. To help
achieve those goals, each year donations are made to help make life better
for active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families, and
America's communities. The Ladies Auxiliary VFW actively supports
our troops as well as veterans and their families. Since the War on
Terror began, care packages have been sent to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Kuwait, Qatar and other locations around the world. Members also
donate to Operation Uplink which supplies free long-distance calling cards
to active-duty military and hospitalized veterans to help them stay in
touch with their families.
