COMMANDERS PROJECT

 COMMANDER'S PROJECT
 
One of the perks of being the Department Commander is choosing a Veterans organization or non-profit to highlight and for which to raise funds. The project this year is the "VFW National Home".
 
  
The Department of Minnesota Commander Ed Keogh and Auxiliary Department of Minnesota President Julie Stoehr would like for you to help them fundraise for the VFW National Home. All donations raised will go directly to the VFW National Home.
 
OUR MISSION
The VFW National Home assists military, veterans, and their families with children, by creating a foundation of services and resources to achieve their personal and family goals to move forward in a positive, safe and healthy environment.
 
Send payment to: VFW National Home, 3573 S. Waverly Rd, Eaton Rapids, MI 48827. 
You can pay online at https://vfwnationalhome.org/donate/ and enter donation and post/individual information. In the "Comments" section please write "2025-2026 VFW Minnesota Commanders & Presidents Project."
 
Any contribution to the Commander and Presidents Project does not include the Post assessment of $20 to the National Home.
 
YOUR CONTRIBUTION will help support the upkeep and renovations of Minnesota Home. In 2026, there will be several upgrades to our home including new flooring, window dressings, paint and duct cleaning.
 
YOUR CONTRIBUTION will be used to purchase coolers, freezers, and shelving for the new VFW National Home resident convenience store. Residents will have a store where they can purchase items with an issued debit card instead of having to travel several miles to the nearest town for much needed items.
 
YOUR CONTRIBUTION will also support the VFW National Home Veteran and Family Resource Center. This serves as a central hub of support, guidance, and empowerment for military and veteran families. Dedicated to improving the lives of those who have served, the VFRC connects families with vital resources, programs and partnerships that foster stability, growth, and personal development.
 
Thank you and all donations are appreciated!
