At the 6 May meeting Commander Jon received the Squadron's appreciation plaque from Roger for the support of the 2024 Legacy Run. The designated charity for the Run is the Veteran's and Children's Fund (V&CF)
The V&CF has two focuses:
1. Deliver needed aid for military and veteran parents who face unexpected financial hardships that threaten the stability of their homes. One-time Temporary Financial Assistance grants are used to cover housing, utilities, food and other basic needs for families with minor children at home.
2. Train American Legion accredited service officers who at any one time are continuously working more than 750,000 benefits claims for disabled veterans and their families, free of charge. American Legion Department Service Officers secured nearly $3.7 billion in benefits for the nation’s veterans during fiscal year 2020.
Safe, secure, tax-deductible donations to the V&CF can be made online at www.legion.org/donate.
