To reach 100% Membership by recruiting new members, retaining continuous members, and reinstating former members.

The Auxiliary became the VFW’s “Partner in Service” in 1914. Since then, members have contributed thousands of volunteer hours and raised millions of dollars to support programs that benefit veterans, who defended our country, as well as their families in need of our assistance. Eligibility has changed over the years, but our patriotism and spirit have survived the test of time.

Any person otherwise eligible for membership in the Ladies Auxiliary may become a Life Member upon acceptance of her application and payment of specified fee.  Fees are based on the applicant's age as of December 31 of the year of application, regardless of the member's actual birth date.
