The North Fulton Veterans of Foreign Wars

The North Fulton Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is a veterans service organization dedicated to supporting veterans and deployed service members as well as their families. All their members have served honorably in the U.S. military and have been deployed (or are currently deployed) to an area of conflict. The VFW uses the reach of its membership to help veterans in both big and small ways:

Military Support
These programs provide direct support for deployed and returning service members. Since 1996, Operation Uplink, the VFWs free phone card program, has distributed more than eight million phone cards to hospitalized veterans and deployed service members. These valuable minutes of time allow the deployed service member and hospitalized veteran to stay in touch with friends and family.

The Unmet Needs program provides emergency relief to service members facing unexpected costs such as medical emergencies, home repair, or identity theft.

The Military Assistance Program allows VFW posts to adopt units and sponsor morale-raising events.

National Veterans Service
Highly trained service officers act as liaisons between veterans and the Department of Veterans Affairs. They identify available benefits, provide free expert advice, assist in the filing of claims, and advocate on a veterans behalf when necessary.

VFW on Capitol Hill
The VFW Washington, D.C.s office is responsible for monitoring legislative and related national issues of importance to veterans.

Job Assistance for Veterans
The VFW supports VetJobs.com, a free, online employment resource that allows veterans and their spouses to post resumes and search available jobs online. To date, more than 80,000 vets and their spouses have posted resumes on the site, with 30,000 finding job placement. The National Veterans Employment Assistance Service works to ensure veteran preference in federal and other government hiring.

VFW in North Fulton
Local VFWs often sponsor homecoming parties for returning units, donate time to local charities, or even coordinate with VFW national headquarters to help area families in need.

The North Fulton VFW meets at 7:00pm on the second Tuesday of each month at Alpharetta First Baptist Church, 44 Academy Street, Alpharetta.

Veterans may choose whether to join as an annual member or as a lifetime member. And all currently deployed active-duty, Reserve, and National Guard service members receive a free membership their first year through the Military Initiative Program.

Donate to Operation Santa
Operation Santa was started in 2003 by the members of VFW Post 12002 with the intent of using funds raised from private and corporate donors to express their gratitude to, and support for, Georgia-based troops fighting overseas and their families. Since its inception, the charity has raised nearly $300,000 and has touched the lives of over 5,000 Georgia-based troops and their families. All administrative duties are performed by volunteers no one with Operation Santa receives a paycheck. To donate, please call 770-331-6120.
