Funeral Team
Each year, members of VFW Post 379 provide services for more than 100 funerals for service members and veterans. Without the support of the VFW and its member volunteers these services would not be possible. If you would like to support the efforts of the VFW funeral team please make a donation to the post so we can continue this good work.

One of the main purposes of the VFW is to testify before Congress, meet with elected officials and rally our national network of members and supporters to ensure our lawmakers put veterans first. Our main areas of focus include:
- Budget
- Healthcare
- Disability Assistance and memorial affairs
- Education, employment and transition assistance
- Military quality of life
- National security, foreign affairs and POW/MIA
We welcome our local members to participate in advocacy at the state and federal levels. If you would like information about how you can help, email us.
