WELCOME TO VFW AUXILIARY DEPARTMENT of FLORIDA


Welcome to the Department of Florida Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. We are an organization consisting of fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, grandfathers, grandmothers, grandsons and granddaughters of those persons, both male and female that have honorably served in the Armed forces of the United States. We believe in Americanism, which has been defined as an unfailing love of country; loyalty to its institutions and ideals, eagerness to defend it against all enemies, undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.

We serve and support the veterans, active-duty soldiers and their families of the United States. For, they are the ones that put their lives on the line to allow us the daily freedoms we enjoy.

Hurricane Ian and Nicole
Our hearts go out to all of our Auxiliary members who were affected by Hurricane Ian and/or Nicole.  Please know that we are here to assist in any way that we can.  If you or someone you know are in need of immediate assistance, please remember that under our Standing Rules we have a Disaster Relief Fund set up which reads:

DISASTER RELIEF FUND: A Disaster Relief Fund has been set up to help our Auxiliary Brothers and Sisters in case of emergency (Hurricane, Tornado, fire, flood). A minimum of not less than $250 and not more than $500 shall be distributed at the discretion of the Department President.

Please contact Department President Cindy Estell via email (cestell1954@gmail.com) or via phone 727-417-5450 if you are in need so that arrangements can be made to get funds to you.

If your Auxiliary was NOT affected and you can assist with adding to our Disaster Relief Fund, please send your donation to the Department Treasurer, Linda Burnette, and mark it Disaster Relief Fund.
