DEPARTMENT OF WISCONSIN
Community Service
The purpose of the Community Service program is to mobilize the American Legion Family, the veteran and military community, and the general population of the community to provide services directed to veterans, active duty service members, and their families.
This program includes development, implementation and monitoring of community service activities that promote economic security and offer assistance for veterans, active-duty service members and their families, and the homeless veteran while positioning the American Legion Auxiliary as a one stop shop organization to assist them in meeting their needs. Auxiliary units should encourage the public to assist in this endeavor.
