Mission: The VFW National Home assists military, veterans, and their families with children, by creating a foundation of services and resources to achieve their personal and family goals in order to move forward in a positive, safe and healthy environment.

Born from the belief that America needs to care for the children and families of men and women who sacrificed for our country, the VFW National Home for Children is a place of healing, support and refuge.

It was founded in 1925 as a place where the families left behind by war could remain together, keeping the family circle intact even when their service member didn't come home.

Today's families face different challenges - reintegration, post-traumatic stress, high unemployment and rehabilitation from battlefield injuries, among others - and the National Home has evolved over our decades-long history to meet those changing needs.

VFW National Home for Children is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 2003, and donations are tax-deductible.
