- Veteran Assistance

Our Local VFW post provides a variety of programs and services to members and veterans. We take pride in helping veterans and the community with great honor. Our Post offers a wide range of assistance programs aimed at helping veterans of every generation. Whether that means providing free, professional help filing or appealing a VA claim, offering local youth scholarships for post-secondary education or providing emergency financial relief when times get tough, the Sandpoint VFW is here for America's veterans.

If you are a Veteran in need, we work closely with the Bonner County Veteran Services office to ensure you get the help you need.

The Bonner County Veteran Service Officer (VSO)

Assists veterans and their dependents by providing information and help with submitting claims, applications, and appeals for various benefits, and can also help you obtain military discharge documents like the DD Form 214. The VSO acts as veterans advocates, helping you navigate complex state and federal laws, and connects veterans with local and regional services, including transportation assistance and other social services as needed.
