The Hawkins-Reeve VFW Post 7916 has been awarded a $2500 grant by the Home Depot Foundation and Team Depot for FY2016. The support of this generous grant will greatly improve the physical infrastructure of the Hawkins-Reeve VFW Post 7916 and its 740 Post and Auxiliary members.
The partnership established with the Home Depot Foundation and Team Depot will provide materials and labor to refresh the community fellowship hall – vastly improving its appearance and utility as a space for its membership, its sponsored Boys Scouts of America Troops, and ensure its viability as a community space for the Occoquan and Prince William communities.
