Auxiliary Legion Volunteer Services

Be Part of the Work of Our Legion

Mission Statement
In the spirit of Service, Not Self, the mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion and to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of our veterans, military, and their families, both at home and abroad. For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.

At Solon American Legion Stinocher Post 460, our members are veterans. However, as an organization, we’ve served the public since 1902. We are proud to partner with the American Legion Auxiliary to provide further volunteer services.

The Auxiliary is made up of immediate family members, male and female,  of war veterans. The organization was founded in 1919, and it works tirelessly to operate volunteer programs and collect charitable funds. 

Our Auxiliary at Solon American Legion Stinocher Post 460 does plenty of good work! Are you interested in becoming a member? Call to find out how!
