VFW Post 3348 (Blackburn-Aurora) held their annual Buddy Poppy event over the weekend. From 9am to 5pm on Friday and Saturday, November 6-7, 2026, VFW volunteers at Shoreline Fred Meyer and Shoreline Town & Country Market accepted donations for the annual fundraiser.

In keeping with its pledge “No one does more for veterans,” Buddy Poppy events are conducted exclusively by VFW volunteers.

VFW Post 3348 typically uses the donations they receive from their Buddy Poppy fundraising events to donate to organizations that serve veterans --- USO Northwest (SeaTac), Shoreline Veterans Center, Fisher House (Seattle VA Hospital), etc.
