The VFW Military Assistance Program (MAP) is the outstretched hand between the VFW and military units. MAP offers grants to VFW Posts who participate in military unit functions, such as sponsoring "Farewell and Welcome Home Activities," "Family Readiness Group" events, or other sponsorship ideas.

 

Our MAP mission here in Kentucky includes all aspects of the military. We support Active-Duty, Guard and Reserve components of the Armed Forces and their families.  From Fort Campbell, Fort Knox, the KYANG at Louisville International Airport and every military armory in the Commonwealth, we stand ready to serve those who serve our nation.

 

MAP also links with VFW™s Operation Uplink and Unmet Needs programs to create an all-star team of military assistance. MAP and Operation Uplink have provided more than 200 computers to set up Internet Cafes where service members™ families may e-mail their deployed loved ones.

In addition, MAP has forged partnerships with various service providers, including www.vetjobs.com, aimed at providing the transitioning service member with relocation and employment assistance. Through our active Veteran Service Office in Louisville, we can also help service members secure veteran benefits and entitlements.
