Velva Veterans Group

Veterans continuing to selflessly serve our community and those in need … that’s who we are, and why our group was formed. And we’re honored to do so!

But we couldn’t do it without YOU, and other Veteran supporters like the Velva American Legion.

Initiatives like this are made possible by donations and fundraisers, like our current Calendar raffle. Your support is what helps us continue to serve others. And for that, we thank you!

Together we can do more. 💪🏻🇺🇸🙌🏻
