A Call To Action
The VFW and Humana need your help in our important fight against food insecurity, which is defined as the state of being without access to affordable, nutritious food. This is a problem that effects 1 in 8 Americans and 1 in 4 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
Help us provide 1 MILLION MEALS!!!
In the spirit of the VFW's proud tradition of community service, we are calling on you to join us in meeting this challenge. This is a grassroots effort as its success relies entirely on concerned and caring Americans like you.
