"We are proud to announce today the beginning of what we hope will be a lasting partnership with the VFW Foundation," said Troy Prewitt, Chief Financial Officer for Glow Parking. "As a Service Disabled Veteran Owned business based in Kansas City, we recognize and appreciate the important and unique role the VFW plays in our community."

The VFW Foundation offers a variety of beneficial programs (all of which are implemented without cost to recipients). These include providing financial assistance to military families for rent, mortgage, utilities, vehicle repair, medical expenses and food/basic assistance - over $2.7 million awarded so far! The VFW Foundation also enables free communication options for troops in Iraq/Afghanistan and those they love back in the U.S. For example, the VFW Foundation has distributed over 11 million long-distance telephone cards and 33 million free long distance minutes. Moreover, VFW Veterans Service representatives recovered an astonishing $1.2 billion last year on behalf of veterans in their entitlement dealings with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Annually VFW members and its Auxiliary contribute more than 12.8 million hours of volunteerism in the community, including participation in Make A Difference Day and National Volunteer Week, and provide $2.1 million in college scholarships to middle and high school students.

"The VFW Foundation is extremely pleased to be the primary charity partner of Glow Parking, LLC," said Daniel M. Shea, VFW Foundation Director. "The wonderful generosity of Glow Parking is quite timely as it will allow us to continue many of our beneficial and urgently needed programs." Mr. Shea also recognized John G. Lowe, Foundation Deputy Director, and the entire staff for their efforts in developing this tremendous partnership with Glow Parking, LLC.
