National Holidays
Every year the VFW hosts a meal event for multiple national holidays such as Memorial, Independence and Veteran’s Day to name a few. We enjoy celebrating with our local community members and getting our Veterans out and about.
Community Collaborations
The Sandpoint VFW enjoys collaborating with other local organizations such as the Sandpoint Elks Lodge to provide assistance for their events. A major event we enjoy assisting with is the yearly Patriot Golf Scramble which provides our local community and our VFW with grants and scholarships.

Member Appreciation
Our VFW values its members even when they are no longer with us or move away. We offer assistance with membership transfers and upon approval of membership to our local hall, members are welcome to join our general meeting monthly. Meetings are held the 3rd Saturday of every month with hot coffee and donuts, or other treats, available for members to enjoy.
Wood Lot
The VFW provides cords of wood for local veterans and civilians in need. Thanks to a local family in support of this outreach, we are able to collect, store and hold wood on their property right outside of Sandpoint. Please reach to out to our post via phone(208-263-9613) or email(post2453vfw@gmail.com) if you are in need of wood or would like to volunteer for wood cutting and cleanup.
Veteran Assistance
The Sandpoint VFW takes helping its local veterans with great honor. Pictured are various ways the VFW has served its community from Annual Turkey Shoots that raise food for the local food bank to providing free meals on holidays, assisting VFW members and community members with a variety of financial assistance and scholarships to local youth.
