DEDICATED TO SERVING VETERANS
Special Benefit
At this time, Veterans from Illinois who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and have received a Purple Heart can receive a one-time grant of $200. Contact the Springfield VFW Office.
Wounded Soldiers
This program is designed to provide personal care items such as pajamas, sandals, personal razors, shaving cream, deoderant, t-shirts, workout shorts, etc. to veterans who have been wounded overseas and returned home to recuperate in hospitals across the nation. Some veterans have only one arm or leg, or neither; many will be hospitalized for a long time. Many have no personal clothing or grooming items. Donations to this program will be used to provide these veterans with much-needed items.
Military Assistance Program
Donations to this program enable us to provide assistance to our veterans serving in the military today, and their families.

Veterans Service
We provide highly trained professionals to assist veterans and their families in obtaining disability benefits, filing claims, gaining admittance to VA Hospitals and burial services on behalf of all veterans.
