Amvets Auxiliary Department of Florida

​Greetings and Welcome to AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary, Department of Florida. I am humble by being elected to serve as your Department President for a second term. We are a “Team” working together to serve our veterans, our communities, and to educate our youth on Americanism. 
My theme is: “Make a Difference by Volunteering.” You should never underestimate the difference you made and the lives you have touched. Be proud of the work you do and the difference you make by volunteering. 
“The Ashley House” named after 1st LT. Ashley White who was killed in Afghanistan while serving our country is my project for this year. The Ashley House will serve as a transition home for homeless female veterans. This home will provide a safe haven for these women to begin their healing journey in a safe and loving environment. While housed in this facility these veterans will receive financial guidance, VA Benefits, school and career counseling. The newly built Ashley House is located in Eustis, Florida.

AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary is made up of dedicated women whose primary focus revolves around our relationship to an individual who has honorably served our country in military service.  As Auxiliary volunteers, we are helping, caring and sharing for our community and for those who are serving and have served our country. We join together as an organization to promote, support, and assist our parent organization AMVETS in achieving this goal.

AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary’s most important program is membership for without members our service programs would not exist. Membership provides   AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary with the potential to be effective in legislation and the ability to be heard on issues that are important to Veterans and their families. We strive to gain positive recognition in the media to gain publicity for our programs. Working together gives us the opportunity to explore the financial resources need to carry out our service programs and to develop new ones as the need arises. AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary is involved in many worthy causes that help the smallest child to the oldest of adults. Many adults benefit from a wide variety of programs AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary sponsors in our community. Our Veterans and their families are our number one priority. Our VA Medical Centers provide the best of medical care to our Veterans while we provide the most dedicated volunteers who give our Veterans love and hope. Americanism is one of our most valuable assets for without it we would not be the most caring country in the world.  We have many scholarship programs that assist our members, as well as our sons, daughters, and grandchildren. THAT’S WHAT WE DO!
