MADISON — The Madison American Legion Auxiliary, Unit #39, supports community programs benefiting the children of the area. Each year members donate backpacks filled with school supplies, distributing them to four local schools in the Madison and Anson area. This year, they donated a 20 school backpacks.
American Legion Auxiliary members have dedicated themselves for nearly a century to meeting the needs of our nation’s veterans, military and their families both here and abroad. They volunteer millions of hours yearly, with a value of nearly $2 billion. As part of the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization, auxiliary volunteers across the country also step up to honor veterans and military through annual scholarships and with ALA Girls State programs, teaching high school juniors to be leaders grounded in patriotism and Americanism.
