The organization provides a safe, informative,
proactive, veteran, advocacy program service in a holistic environment, in which the dynamics of emotional, financial, social,
and veteran programs are integrated fully into the surrounding community. We do this through our MAP program with it
unique purpose of alleviating financial hardships resulting from military deployments. Such emergency aid is in the
form of a "one-time grants" to the service members or qualified family members. We also will offer VFW School
Community Impact programs, educational outreach, ROTC assistance in the implementation of programs and services, social service
advocacy and other forms of veteran and community support. We will always continue to strive to find additional opportunities
to offer quality outreach program services and events for the community. The Post
9761 is not only devoted to caring for its own, it is also very involved in community service work, both physical and financial.
Education of the nation's youth is of deep concern to the VFW. We have one of the best scholarship programs in the United
