The American Legion Auxiliary has been around for a long time - over eighty years, in fact. If each of our one million members were asked what the Auxiliary does, what would she say?

Many would talk about the millions of hours of volunteer time we give to assist veterans at home, in hospitals, and in their own homes. And they would be right.

Others would tell about the millions of dollars donated to worthy causes around the world and in our communities. Right again!

Some would stress the community service work we do and the thousands of special projects we have funded to assist families and children across the nation. And, they would be right as well!

And of course, everyone would mention our poppies - those little red crepe paper flowers made by hand by veterans - and the many thousands we distribute every Memorial Day.

That's just the beginning!

We Work to prevent substance abuse, teen suicide, child abuse and teen pregnancy.

We Educate our children for leadership through Girls Nation, the Freedoms Foundation, VolunTeens, and our Junior Programs as well as provide scores of local and national scholarships.

"Service, not Self!"

We Organize community blood drives, local and national conservation efforts, emergency disaster relief worldwide, citizenship and education programs, child safety materials, and legislative action.

We Help our own members through the Auxiliary Emergency and Displaced Homemakers Funds and our service to people and their families through the Family Assistance Network.

The Auxiliary is all of this and much, much more! We are looking for people like you!
