The VFW Post 7545 Auxiliary are proud to support local organizations that make a direct, meaningful impact on veterans, children, and families in our community. Through ongoing collections and outreach, we are committed to helping those who need it most.
We are honored to support Rainie’s Foster Closet of North Tonawanda, an organization dedicated to providing essential items to children entering foster care with dignity and care. Donations help ensure children in foster care have the essentials they need during times of transition. Donations can be dropped off at the Post during regular business hours or Post Events.
