Community Involvement



VFW Post 2498 is proud to be an active member of the Needham community, where it provides both veteran-specific and community-wide service.



Holidays



Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Veterans Day



Post 2498 proudly assists with Needham's Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Veterans Day activities, including marching in parades, assisting with flag raising, and placing flags on the gravestones of local veterans. We also host a casual luncheon for the community following each day's events.



Veterans Assistance



Paraplegic Dinners



Recognizing that dozens of paraplegic veterans live at the Veterans Affairs hospitals in the Boston area, Post 2498 is honored to host a deluxe dinner and "Vegas night" for paraplegic veterans and their assistants each year.



Celebratory Breakfasts



St. Patrick's Day and Marine Corps Birthday



Post 2498 opens its doors to the community for a free breakfast on St. Patrick's Day and the Marine Corps Birthday (November 10) each year. These breakfasts are a chance for our veterans to further interact with our neighbors while enjoying some good food and traditional Irish dancing.



Youth Activities



Scholarships and Boy Scouts of America



Post 2498 furthers its dedication to the community by serving as the charter organization for Boy Scouts of America Troop 13 and Cub Scouts Pack 4, both based in Needham. Further, Post 2498 is proud each year to participate in the VFW's Voice of Democracy and Patriot's Pen scholarship competitions for high school and middle school students, respectively.
