The Organization is to serve the Northern Illinois area by providing beneficial services to disabled, poor or distressed Veterans and members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their dependents and the widows and orphans of deceased Veterans; Conducting programs for charitable purposes; and educating the public about Veterans issues and the memory of the Armed Forces in a charitable manner.
As a recognized Honor Flight Network Hub, VNC Honor Flight of Northern and Western Illinois sends Veterans to Washington DC every year to see the Memorials and Monuments erected in their honor. This program is funded by the generous donations of our sponsors and fundraisers our organization does throughout the year. These trips are for three or four days and are at no cost to the Veterans. World War II, Korean and disabled Veterans are required to bring a Guardian. Vietnam Veterans who are able to go on their own are asked to help us find a sponsor to cover their cost of the trip.
