Buddy Poppies for Veteran’s Day 2014 - Nov 7-8 in Shoreline

Buddy Poppy
All proceeds go to help veterans

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) was founded in 1899. VFW is the first and oldest major veteran’s organization in the USA. 

During Buddy Poppy events, VFW members meet mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, etc. (who are related to current and/or former U.S. military personnel), who appreciate a chance to donate for a Buddy Poppy to wear in honor of veterans on Veteran’s Day. 

Donations to Buddy Poppy events are used to support needy, disabled and/or homeless veterans. These donations provide support for our Post donations to the various local veteran's organizations e.g. Compass Centers Shoreline (Compass Housing Alliance), USO, Fisher House, Veteran’s Homes in Washington State (Orting, near Olympia) and (Retsil, near Post Orchard), etc.

All VFW members who go out with the Poppy sales are volunteers.

The volunteers will be at two locations in Shoreline on Friday and Saturday, November 7 and 8 from 9:30am up to 5:00pm. 

• Central Market (N. 155th and Aurora)
• QFC (NE 145th St. and 15th Ave NE)
