CHECK OUT PREVIOUS SPECIAL EVENTS
Veterans Day 2021
VFW 2814 Post and Auxiliary members were honored to be participants of the 2021 Veterans Day Services at the Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial. Post member Brandon Phillips and his wife and Auxiliary member Heidi Phillips represented us during the presentation by laying a wreath. We handed out tons of Buddy Poppies to humans young and old and even some furry friends in attendance as well as shared news and updates about The Canteen. The neighboring booth, Camp Roberts Museum, was manned by our own Sr. Vice Commander Jeff Mansfield.
Community Shred Event 2021 & Breakfast at the VFW
The first-ever Community Shred Event hosted by the Auxiliary was a great success! We were visited by some 65 community members who dropped off over 260 boxes of paperwork to be destroyed. The on-site shredding services were provided by Santa Maria-based Shred 2 You who comped their fees for this inaugural event. Participants were encouraged to donate $5 per banker's box of paperwork with several donating well above that suggested amount. The Auxiliary received over $1,900 in donations! A date for 2022 is in the works and will be announced shortly.
On the same morning, Post Officers threw on aprons and prepared a great breakfast of egg casserole bacon and biscuit as a fundraiser.
