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.
VFW Post 9761 is on the cusp of new horizons and services. 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 States. The "Voice
of Democracy" is a speech writing, radio broadcast, program for high school students in the 10th thru 12th grades and
