The American Legion Auxiliary is the largest patriotic womens organization in the world with almost 1 million members strong.

The Auxiliary Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitations programs provide not only financial assistance, but very important is the service we can provide for them and SHOULD!!! The Objective for the VA&R is to bring awareness to the plight and ever increasing number of homeless veterans.

Step of Action

Educate your Unit members about homeless veterans
Call and make an appointment with your local VAMC and ask what your Unit can do to help.
Locate a homeless shelter in your area
Contact your local elected officials about public issues effecting homeless veterans
Work with your American Legion Post, and Sons of The American Legion Chairman Of VA&R

Remember the VA&R is made up of many different parts. Creative Arts Festival, Ride to Recovery R2R, Spinning Recovery Labs, Homeless Veterans, Fisher House Program, Welcome Home Celebrations, Field and Home Services and a very important resource your American Legion Post.

Please remember we our there to assist our Veterans in everyway so there is no reason to not have reported hours. Keep up the good work, LADIES!!
