American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters

Veterans Day of Giving is coming Nov. 11. 🇺🇸 Behind every American Legion Auxiliary member is a veteran whose service made that membership possible.

Maybe it's your parent, grandparent, spouse, child, sibling, or someone whose service has been part of your family's story for generations.

Who is your veteran?

This year, you can honor their service and continue their impact with a gift to the Veteran Projects Fund. And there's even more reason to give: the ALA Foundation Board will match donations up to $3,000!

Honor Their Service. Continue Their Impact.

Save the date for Nov. 11, or give early! Give in honor of your veteran: https://bit.ly/VeteransDayofGiving-2026

Community service is all about finding ways to help others, and donating blood is one way to make a real difference! 🫶

Last week, Versiti Blood Center visited American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters for a staff blood drive. Versiti helps keep hospitals across the Midwest supplied with lifesaving blood, serving as the primary blood provider for more than 100 hospital systems.

We are grateful to everyone at NHQ who rolled up their sleeves to donate and help patients in need. Every donation is an opportunity to give back to our community and be there for someone when they need it the most!
