Reaching out into our communities is vital to our organization,
developing relationships with community leaders, media, school faculty
and local civic groups can greatly assist each post in achieving the VFW
mission.
We
understand first-hand the essence of rallying community support and the
positive, life-changing impact we have on the world around us. Getting
involved, recognizing exceptional individuals, and supporting or
sponsoring community events are just a few of the ways Ohio VFW Posts
are giving back to their communities.

Columbus, Ohio, when a group of veterans met to address the urgent needs
of their brothers-in-arms. It’s a tradition that has never wavered.
