Purpose: Survey the Posts and Districts of the Dept of MO VFW to see what programs Posts are involved with and what veterans programs are in their respective areas. Once information is collected, this information will be put on a resources page by our webmaster. The goal of this committee is to find out what everyone is doing (or not doing), to share this information and in hopes of generating interest by more posts to help veterans and their families and to learn from one another. Hopefully this will result in more help for veterans and families reducing suicides and substance abuse. Such information to share will include counselling available, retreats available, and programs available. These include, coffee shop talks for vets, groups such as Irreverent Warriors, Warrior on the Water, Freedom 13, MoVets Outdoors, Operation BBQ relief, VFW Combat Tested Gaming, State and Federal Programs, Heroes Rest, Camp Fires for Vets, Women Veteran exclusive groups, Hooked on Vets, Charlie22, and so forth. First, we want to help veterans and their families (reduce suicides and substance abuses). Second, we want Posts to focus on partnering and working with these local groups. Third, we want to meet the needs for all our younger veterans and families. Fourth we want to reinvigorate/rejuvenate our Posts by catering to the real needs of ALL veterans. Fifth, I believe this will help recruit new VFW and Auxiliary members bringing new life into our organization.
