COMMUNITY SERVICE

Serving Veterans and Our Community

Community service is central to the mission of VFW Post 8905 Thompson-Patton-Zhan. Our commitment to service did not end when we removed the uniform. Today, our members continue serving veterans, military families, youth and the Cypress community.

Post 8905 participates in community events, patriotic observances, veteran-support activities and youth programs. We are proud to support organizations and programs that strengthen our community, including local Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Young Marines.


Building Community Partnerships

Strong communities are built through cooperation. Post 8905 works to develop relationships with community leaders, schools, civic organizations, local businesses, first responders and other nonprofit organizations.

These partnerships help us identify community needs, support local veterans and military families, promote patriotism and create opportunities for veterans to continue serving alongside their neighbors.
