The VFW Airlift: Time to Make a Difference!
The VFW Airlift is just around the corner, and we need your help! We’re currently $15,000 short of our fundraising goal for the year. With increased demand and rising food prices, every dollar counts. You can donate to the VFW Airlift and also apply for the Uniting to Combat Hunger Grant, which is a proven way to obtain matching funds. By sending up to $1,500 to the Department of Colorado, specifying it for the VFW Airlift, and filling out the grant forms to send back to National, you can receive $1,500 in matching funds! Every contribution helps as we enter the home stretch of this giving season. For more details, visit VFW Post Grants.
