Supporting Our Heroes in 2026!

BACKPACKS4VETERANS is an ongoing effort by VFW Post 6418, and we’re aiming to collect additional backpacks to maintain a good supply on hand. Right now, we have about forty (40) complete backpacks ready for distribution. We’d greatly appreciate donations to help purchase new backpacks. Each backpack will be filled with personal items and given to homeless veterans. We can also pick up personal items in boxes or bags, whether packed or unpacked. Donations are urgently needed, so keep an eye out for announcements about Veterans Stand Downs in 2026. Let’s make sure no veteran is left behind! 

Items and backpacks shown below were donated by the St. Albans Ladies Club on July 2, 2026.
