The page lists the Auxiliary by name, gives the Hermitage post's phone number, and publishes an address for its president. It is the only channel the Auxiliary currently updates.

Hickory VFW Auxiliary post 6166 on Facebook Post business, hall bookings and general enquiries go through the post itself on (724) 981-2273.

Auxiliary and post are two bodies at one address

The distinction matters when you are trying to reach the right people. The post — Hickory VFW Post 6166 — runs the building at 5550 East State Street in Hermitage, together with the Normandy Banquet Center attached to it. It holds post meetings, rents the hall, runs a kitchen with a Friday fish night, and hosts outside events such as gun shows and car shows. Its own page names its post meetings at 1800 with the board meeting an hour earlier, and it publishes [email protected].

The Auxiliary is the separate membership body that works alongside that post. Auxiliary 6166 has its own Facebook page, its own phone contact through the post number, and an address at [email protected]. This domain was the Auxiliary's website until it lapsed; the Auxiliary itself did not go anywhere.

What the Auxiliary movement does

The national VFW Auxiliary describes itself as uniting people from all walks of life since 1914 with a common purpose: to improve the lives of veterans, service members and their families. Auxiliaries carry that out locally — supporting veterans in their county, contributing to programmes for service families, and raising money for them.

The mission statement that stood on this domain's own archived pages put the purpose of the corporation as fraternal, patriotic, historical, charitable and educational: to preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members, to assist worthy comrades, to perpetuate the memory and history of the dead and assist their widows and orphans, to maintain allegiance to the Government of the United States and fidelity to its Constitution and laws, and to foster true patriotism.

If you are looking for an auxiliary near you rather than this one, the national organisation runs a locator by city or ZIP code at vfwauxiliary.org.
