Also, at least once a year we help with food and manpower for a breakfast for troops coming in from night marches.

If you would like to attend a meeting as a guest I will email you information to "Join A Meeting" on Zoom. If you like what you see and hear we welcome you to become a member of Post 7766.
Many of our members are also volunteers with other organizations such as the USS Midway Museum, MOWW, RBVMA, and RSVP.
Post 7766 has two funds, Relief Fund and General Fund. The Relief Fund is for all the charity work we do and provides money for the Veterans National Home, veterans in distress and other veterans causes that are voted on at the monthly meetings. The General Fund is used for post operations and is funded by membership dues and members' monthly 50/50 lottery. The two Funds are completely separate.
