The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is proud to announce the third annual VFW #StillServing Day of Service — a dedicated day of service led by veterans throughout the country and the world — will kick off the first Saturday in May (May 3, 2025), marking the start of veteran-led community service projects to take place throughout the month.

Launched in 2022, VFW Day of Service began as an outgrowth of the organization’s #StillServing campaign that began in 2020 to recognize the ongoing dedication of veterans and service members who continue to serve their communities after their military service has ended. VFW Day of Service, led by veterans and in concert with other organizations and civic groups, is open for anyone to participate.

Veterans are more likely than civilians to volunteer in their communities, according to a recent civic health survey* of veterans. The same study showed veterans donate to charities, register to vote and are involved in their communities and local government at a greater rate than their civilian counterparts.
