COMMUNITY SERVICE

Community engagement is important to Post 5744, as we strive to develop relationships with community leaders, schools, other Veterans organizations, and other civic groups. The completion of community service projects, projects that improve our community, is a vital part of our mission. We are especially attentive to locations where Veterans are honored.

ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE

Post 5744 typically completes Community Service during National Volunteer Week. National Volunteer Week is celebrated annually during the third week of April and this year will be observed from April 20 to 26. This week long celebration is about placing a spotlight on inspiring figures whose invaluable seeds of kindness through volunteering are bettering the community and our world in general. This significant celebration which was established in 1974 provides the perfect opportunity to say "thank you". It also challenges us to do better and look for more ways to be active participants, joining hands to impact our local communities and calling for more support.
 
In the past, the Post has teamed up with others, like Liberty Mutual "Torchbearers" to complete community projects.
 
Because of our involvement above, the Post does not currently participate in the VFW Day of Service, which occurs the first Saturday in May, with projects continuing throughout the month of May.
