About Our Auxiliary
We are the Auxiliary of Hawkins-Reeve VFW Post 7916 in Occoquan. We work alongside the Post to support veterans, service members, and their families in Prince William County and the surrounding community.
For more than a century, VFW Auxiliary members across the country have served veterans and their families, supported the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and helped teach the next generation about patriotism and service. Here in Occoquan, our volunteers carry on that work through local fundraising, community service, and youth programs.
