Every Single Veteran Makes a Difference
The annual VFW Day of Service is a meaningful way for every veteran to show America how they make their communities stronger — even if that means running a solo mission. If you’re interested in participating in this year’s event, here are some ideas for organizing a Day of Service of your own.
Check Out These Solo Service Project Ideas
- Gather food or supplies for a group in need by encouraging donations from friends, family, co-workers and others in your community
- Help an elderly or disabled neighbor complete a home project
- Perform a small park or memorial clean-up
- Participate in a run/walk to raise funds for charity
- Volunteer at a local school (i.e., speak to students about service)
