VFW Post 1
about
The VFW is one of the largest and most active veterans organizations in the United States. VFW Post 1 is the First Post in the world, and is nationally recognized as a model and innovative leader for VFW’s across the country. We place service at the forefront of what we do, being actively engaged in our community and leaving behind the old stigma of dark, smoky bars that the VFW has been known for in the past.
Our Post 1 home, located in the Santa Fe Art District, is a Veteran Community Center hub, welcoming veterans of all eras and providing opportunities for veterans and civilians to connect. The Veteran Community Center hosts our Veterans Arts Council gallery, showcasing artwork from veterans and civilians – and is open to the public during the popular First Friday art walk.
Post 1 actively selects programs and partners that assist veterans from WWII to Operation Enduring Freedom to thrive, including hosting annual service events, yoga classes and non-narcotic therapy sessions. We understand the current-day veteran community is far more diverse than it was 15 years ago, which is why we are committed to gaining new members who are of all ages, genders, backgrounds and conflicts.
