Subject: Urgent Call for Disaster Relief Operations--VFW Posts Across Texas

Comrade Commanders,

As we continue to support communities affected by recent disasters across our great state, the Dept of Texas is asking Posts and members to rally together in the spirit of service and camaraderie that embodies the Texas VFW.

We are requesting donations of the following essential items to aid in ongoing disaster response and recovery efforts:

Protein Bars

Beef Jerky

Liquid I.V. or Electrolyte Packets

Heavy-Duty Work Gloves

Bug Spray

Sunscreen

Eye Drops

Gallon-Size Zipper Bags

Yellow or Orange Safety Vests or belts

Garden Hoses

Tree trimmers

Machetes

Batteries (All Sizes)

Flashlights

Headlamps

Squeegees

Cleaning Supplies

Handheld Walkie Talkies

Socks

These supplies are critical to both first responders and affected families who are working tirelessly to clean up, rebuild, and stay safe under difficult conditions.

We ask that each Post coordinate local collection efforts and deliver or ship gathered donations to a designated distribution center within your respective Districts. Many of you have already identified Posts as staging areas for donations in your District. Your contributions will make a meaningful difference in the lives of fellow Texans in need.

Thank you for embodying the VFW’s commitment to service and for standing together during these challenging times. Your continued support reflects the best of what it means to be a veteran and a Texan.

Yours in Comradeship,

Mitch Fuller

Chairman, National Legislative Committee (2024-25)

VFW Department of Texas
