Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary - Dept. of WI

Membership & Recruitment


The VFW Auxiliary started with a small group of women who wanted to serve Veterans. Today, we have nearly 465,000 members, men and women, representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Help us grow by asking someone you know to join us and help us serve Veterans and their families, active-duty military and their families, and promote patriotism across our great nation.
