VFW 2216 ~ Staunton, VA

The current COVID19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the economy.  This has seriously affected our non-profit and support groups as well.  Though we were expected to be quarantined for an original 14 day period, that has now expanded to months with no real deadline in sight.  Under the strict guidelines, VFW Post 2216 has not been able to conduct fundraising as normal and now needs our help more than ever.  The bills have not stopped during this time when it seems everything else has, and a new heating and air conditioning unit that was planned before the suspension of normal business has had to be put on hold.  It's hard to help our veterans and military families when the funds aren't there to cover the bills, just maintain.  The outflow of cash has not changed, but donations and fundraising have become nonexistent, almost forgotten. It is time for our community to give back so that we can help the VFW in Staunton make it through these rough times.  
Would you consider a donation to VFW Post 2216?
The goal we set is high, but we hope to get as close as possible to cover the monthly bills, assist our veteran families and, if possible, maintain our building structure as mentioned above.  Any donation amount will make an impact on whether the doors will reopen once our Governor permits it.  All donations are 100% tax deductible!  No donation is too small!
Your generous donation will help support VFW Post 2216 and their community presence in supporting our veterans; strengthening the bonds of the men and women who have and are currently serving in our military.  To learn more about VFW 2216, visit our Facebook page.   We look forward to getting back to normal ~ attending parades, having community picnics and providing entertainment for our members and our community.  Please stay safe and healthy and never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our Freedoms!
