There is a fundraiser to help Madison Veterans fix their post roof

Please help! The VFW Post 2096 fundraising has been impacted by the pandemic and their future is in jeopardy if they do not get the roof replaced asap. They have already lost one long term renter because of the water damage caused by the leaking roof.

Repairs have been performed in past years by VFW members but there are not currently any members able to do this job (most of the members who are active in the Post are in their 70's) and a roof replacement is necessary.

Many of us in the community have attended events at the VFW Post building. It is an important part of the Madison community and its history. But most of us don't realize that the VFW members in Madison are active in many community service roles. They provide scholarships for students through the Patriot Pen and Voice of Democracy programs. They volunteer in the schools for Veteran's programs and are interviewed by students from our local high school for their Combat Literature class. They volunteer and speak at many Veteran's programs and ceremonies sponsored by the town and local nursing homes. They give a Teacher of the Year award as well as Americanism and Emergency Responder awards. They have volunteered for many years at the VA hospital in West Haven, CT. And they also collect and properly dispose of retired American flags. (If you are able to join, Madison Post 2096 is also in need of new members to carry on these important community service roles)

The VFW building was built over 50 years ago by members. Please help our Veterans!
