The VFW Day of Service is a day set aside for veteran-led local community service events. It is an outgrowth of the VFW’s Still Serving initiative that since 2020 has brought recognition to how much U.S. military veterans continue to serve in their communities after they take off their uniform. Much as Veterans Day commemorations take place throughout the month of November, the VFW Day of Service will occur on the first Saturday in May – May 2 for 2026 – kicking off a full month of veteran-led community service projects that make a difference.
