There are more than 3,600 Auxiliaries throughout the United States, Guam, Panama, and the Philippines. If your community does not have an Auxiliary and you would like to start one, please email us at info@vfwauxiliary.org.
Establishes New Auxiliaries.
Interested in starting an Auxiliary? Whether a VFW Post decides on its own that it wants an Auxiliary or whether a member or non-member sees the potential for a new Auxiliary, the steps for creating an Auxiliary are the same:
A VFW Post must vote by 2/3 majority to have an Auxiliary. (An Auxiliary can never exist on its own without a Post and can never be started without that Post’s 2/3 majority vote).
The Department President appoints the official organizer of the new Auxiliary and he/she must be a member of the VFW Auxiliary.
A minimum of 15 eligible applicants must be on the application for the Charter (transfers are not eligible).
From there, it’s a matter of securing and filling out the proper paperwork provided by the VFW Auxiliary National Headquarters. Every Department President, Secretary, and Chief of Staff have access to these forms.
