Standing Ready to Support Iowa’s Veterans in Their Time of Need

The Iowa Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation is steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that no veteran, service member, or their family faces an emergency alone. Through our Emergency Assistance Program, we provide critical financial relief to those who have honorably served our nation and now find themselves confronting unforeseen hardships beyond their present means.

This program offers timely assistance for essential and urgent expenses that threaten their stability or well-being. Eligible needs may include:

• Emergency home repairs to restore safe living conditions.

• Emergency vehicle repairs to maintain essential transportation for work, medical appointments, or family obligations.

• Emergency medical bills not covered by insurance or other benefits.

• Emergency housing and necessities to prevent homelessness or displacement.

• Funeral and burial costs to honor our fallen comrades and support their grieving families.

Our mission is rooted in compassion, gratitude, and the enduring principle that those who served our country should never be left behind in times of crisis. The Iowa Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation stands ready to provide hope, stability, and dignity when it is needed most, because helping our nation’s heroes, who are also our neighbors, through life’s toughest moments is not only our duty, but our honor.
