The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is a nonprofit veterans group made up of qualified veterans and active-duty, reserve, and guard service personnel.
VFW was established in 1946 with the help of the community, which supports it by providing services, events, and functions for the neighbourhood. We support community-based organisations that uphold the organization’s beliefs and mission by giving our time and resources to them.
In order to advance initiatives and raise funds for groups that support older residents, children with special needs, the Prior Lake Fire Department, and other organisations, we closely collaborate with the Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce.
Many of our programmes and services in Scott County benefit both the local communities as well as veterans, active military personnel, and their families. Please browse our website for a while to discover why No One Does More For Veterans.
