Warminster VFW Awarded $50K Grant For Building Upgrades

WARMINSTER, PA — Democratic Senator Maria Collett awarded Warminster Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6493 with a $50,000 grant during their monthly membership meeting on Monday, March 14.

Collett, D-12 Montgomery/Bucks, attended the meeting to present the state grant, which will be used for building upgrades, such as a new roof for the Post's headquarters and the resurfacing of its parking lot.

“I am proud to support the Warminster VFW and to have advocated for state funding on their behalf,” said Senator Collett. “These much-needed improvements will allow the VFW to continue providing essential assistance and a welcoming community space to local veterans.”

The grant was awarded to the VFW Post through the Keystone Communities Program, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).

The Keystone Communities Program was "designed to encourage the creation of partnerships between the public and private sectors that jointly support local initiatives such as the growth and stability of neighborhoods and communities; social and economic diversity; and a strong and secure quality of life," according to its official website.

Warminster VFW Post 6493 Quartermaster John Gruber spoke on the gesture by the Democratic senator.

“I want to thank Senator Collett for her guidance and support throughout the grant process.”
