Community Outreach

We are looking at different community outreach and special projects for the post.  We are currently conducting a virtual blood drive thru the American Red Cross - to sign up for the blood drive go to the following link. VFW Post 4575 Blood Drive 

We also are looking into having a food drive to help Nourish Food Bank here in Murfreesboro, more information will be put out at our February
meeting.

We also might have the opportunity to sponsor the M.T.S.U Powerlifting club, and in return they will help us with a fundraiser the Jerry is trying to put together later in the year.  The sponsorship would most likely get our post logo on the back of there club t-shirt.  More information to come on this soon.

We are hosting a Veteran's Night out on Saturday, February 19th at 4pm and Jack Split Axe throwing here in Murfreesboro. Cost is  $16.50 per person for an hour if we get more then 20 participants.
