If you'd like to contribute, please send a personal check made out to "VFW Post 5760" and write "Relief Fund" in the memo block. Send checks to our mailing address listed on our contact page, attention "Post Quartermaster". Any amount is appreciated by those most in need of our understanding and support - Thank you.
Relief & Support Programs
Our Relief Fund is designed with one purpose in mind: To provide immediate resources to veterans in need of medical or material support.
The Relief Fund also provides for aid, assistance, and comfort of needy or disabled veterans, their dependent family members, and their widows and orphans. Over the years VFW Post 5760 has leveraged these funds in providing care and assistance to hospitalized veterans, or for those needing rehabilitation, welfare, or social services. Our members have also used these funds to perpetuate the memory of deceased veterans and to comfort their surviving family members.
Contributions from the Relief Fund also provide assistance to three very important programs:
VFW National Home for Children
An appropriate percentage of Relief Fund monies are provided as annual assistance to the VFW National Home for Children. The VFW established the National Home in 1925 to care for the children and families of our nation’s veterans.
VFW Buddy Poppy Campaign
An equally appropriate percentage of Relief Fund monies are also provided to pay for our annual supply of VFW Buddy Poppies. The red poppy flower is a symbol of remembrance of comrades lost in battle.
Seattle VA Hospital Patient Welfare Fund
The Seattle VA Hospital Patient Welfare Fund accepts donations as a means to develop and sustain much needed recreational and social activities programs for hospitalized veterans or those needing long-term care.
About Our Members
The strength of our organization lies within its 120+ members, individuals with unique military backgrounds and experiences who are collectively bound by the trials of war and combat in the air, on land, and at sea. Each of the military services is represented in our members who have served as Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coastguardsmen.
Club House Rentals
The Keewaydin Clubhouse was built in 1922 and has since been used as a community gathering place for residents of Mercer Island and surrounding communities.
The clubhouse has played host to a wide variety of events through the years ranging from weddings to birthday parties, remembrance ceremonies to class reunions. Even small businesses have used the clubhouse for a wide range of off-site planning meetings and unique training forums.
