VFW Post 3617

As a Non-Profit Organization dedicated to serving and assisting our military Veterans and their families in North Central Washington and the Wenatchee River Valley, VFW Post 3617 has a long tradition of supporting our nation’s heroes, as well as assisting and supporting our local communities, from Leavenworth, Cashmere, Entiat, Malaga, Wenatchee, Orondo, Bridgeport, Mansfield, Waterville, Rock Island and East Wenatchee.

Our Post Service Officer can provide veterans with free benefit counseling, and can also provide financial aid to Veterans in need. We engage in programs that promote patriotism to our youth and to our schools, as well as support and participate in many ongoing community programs.

​It is our hope that this site will allow you to explore the many ways in which our Post works to fulfill the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Mission Statement:

“To foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all veterans.”
