Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4248 hasn't added a story.
VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 4248, Sellwood-breakthrough is a place of community. We provide a space for families to hold celebration of life ceremonies for passing veterans, receptions for people beginning their lives, and holiday events for veterans and their families. In the summer, we are a cooling space for many of the elderly in the area and through out the year, we are a place to meet and relax.
VFW Post 4248 acts as an information hub. Veteran’s of Foreign Wars helps the men and women who have fought for our country. VFW provides Medical services, financial services, End of Life Services, Help for soldiers transitioning to civilian life, and so much more. As a Post we act not only as a place of community, but also as a resource to get people in touch with the help they need.
Over the years we have seen a decline in the numbers of new members while many of our older members pass on. This is something that is happening with many of the various groups such as the Elks Club and the American Legion. We provide a community space and various services for our members and with dwindling numbers it is harder to continue to do that. In order to continue to do work in the community with not just veterans but also the elderly we need to raise not only funds, but awareness of our Post. Without donations our Post may very well have to close and we will be unable to offer the various services we have to this point. We get many phone calls from veterans in need and we can route them to the VFW service officers who can act as advocates for them. We also act as a food bank to provide food and food cards if Veterans needs are such. It is imperative that we continue to provide the service's for our Veterans in need.
