VFW POST 9592 COMMUNITY SERVICE EXPECTATION

REACHING OUT INTO OUR COMMUNITY IS VITAL TO OUR ORGANIZATION, DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS, MEDIA, SCHOOL FACULTY AND LOCAL CIVIC GROUPS CAN GREATLY ASSIST OUR POST IN ACHIEVING THE VFW MISSION. 

DEFINITION of COMMUNITY SERVICE

Community Service as defined by the National Community Service Trust Act "encompasses any human act serving the common good; in the interest of the community." Elsewhere, community service is further defined as "a service that is performed for the benefit of the public or its institutions."

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. subscribes to the above but adds that, for the purposes of volunteer recognition, VFW community service must be performed by and as a representative of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and must be performed for an organization outside the VFW and its Auxiliaries and must be verified by an authorized representative of that organization. As it is the intent of VFW community service to impact a broad spectrum of the local community.

THE VFW COMMUNITY SERVICE YEAR IS JULY 1ST THROUGH JUNE 30TH ANNUALLY.
