How We Help.

At American Legion Post 2001 90% of our funds go to our 4 community support areas:

  • Active duty, military Veterans and their families
  • Mentoring our Youth
  • Educating, encouraging Americanism
  • Supporting charitable organizations that uplift our military community

Contribute to 37 county military veterans and their family members (87 total), or their widows. These families need financial assistance, the majority of which is to avoid landlord eviction.

Our charitable organization has seen a 30% increase from 2018 monetary contributions

Coordinate funding of >$6,350 and selection Juniors from local High Schools to attend the week-long American Legion Virginia Boys and Auxiliary Girls State programs

Contribute over $1,500 to Veterans organizations, including Our Military Kids and Wreaths Across America (Arlington National Cemetery, Union Cemetery of Leesburg, VA)
