The American Legion is a nonprofit organization to help the veteran, his family and the community. The Auxiliary helps the Legion in such activities as the annual turkey raffle, Memorial Day program and district conventions. The Auxiliary sponsors a girl to Girl State and Journalism City when on is eligible. They also have a day of pillow cleaning every other year.
