About the Foundation
The Post 1 Foundation mission approach is a proactive values-based approach with the goal of helping constituents thrive in the community. By supporting opportunities that prevent a Veteran from falling on hard times, then the individual and/or family are on a path of success while the resources of VSOs who assist those in need are spared.
