STILL SERVING. STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY. SUPPORTING SECOND CHANCES.

At American Legion Post 521, our commitment to service doesn't end when we take off the uniform.

Guided by The American Legion's Four Pillars of Service, particularly Americanism, Children & Youth, and Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, we believe strengthening our communities begins with creating opportunities for individuals and families to succeed.

We are proud to host the New Beginnings Job Fair, presented by The Dominique M. Payton Foundation**, supporting individuals seeking meaningful employment following incarceration.

Employment is more than a paycheck. It provides dignity, stability, responsibility, and an opportunity to rebuild lives and strengthen families.

📅 Thursday, October 29, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 American Legion Post 521
2221 Preston Ave., Pasadena, TX 77503

Attendees should bring multiple résumés, dress professionally, and scan the flyer’s QR code to register.

Our role as host reflects our commitment to community service and Americanism. It does not constitute an endorsement of any political candidate, party, or campaign.

We thank The Dominique M. Payton Foundation and all participating employers and community partners for working to remove barriers and create opportunities.

We served our country in uniform. Today, we continue that service by investing in the people and communities we call home.

🇺🇸 For God and Country.

Happy Birthday to the United States Navy!

Since October 13, 1775, generations of sailors have answered the call to serve, protecting our nation, defending our freedoms and carrying forward a proud tradition of service at sea and around the world.

Today, we salute all who have worn the Navy uniform past and present.

Fair winds and following seas!

What a great night at the 2026 Golden Acres Neighborhood Association National Night Out Event at the Silver Sycamore Event Venue in our neighborhood of Pasadena!

The Post and Auxiliary members volunteered as part of our community service program within our community, donated 100 hot dogs and served them with nachos, sodas and ice scream bars to the visitors of the event.

We conducted a membership drive at the event and signed up a total of 10 new members, 6 for the Post, 2 for the Auxiliary and 2 for the SAL!

🇺🇸 Small Hands. Big Hearts.

The Deer Park Homeschool Group reached out to American Legion Post 521 with a wonderful idea: bring their children and families together to help clean and care for our Post. We’re grateful for their initiative and generosity!

Tomorrow, we’ll work side by side—children, families, and veterans—sharing a little elbow grease and building connections across generations.

📅 Thursday, October 1
🕤 9:30 a.m.

🧹 Cleaning will primarily be indoors.

Everyone is welcome to lend a hand. Come meet our veterans and these thoughtful young neighbors!

Serving those who served. Together. ❤️

Great things happen when local organizations come together to serve our community.

American Legion Post 521 is proud to see organizations throughout Harris County working together to remove barriers, connect people with employment, and create opportunities for a fresh start.

Clean Slate Day brought together legal resources, employment opportunities, community organizations, and employers—including New Horizons Employment Solutions, whose Director of Operations also serves as our Post 521 Adjutant.

Service doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off. 🇺🇸

Second chances. Stronger communities. Real opportunities. 🇺🇸

New Horizons Employment Solutions was proud to participate in Clean Slate Day at Fallbrook Church, hosted by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and Fallbrook Church.

For years, New Horizons has built strong relationships with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and organizations across Texas serving Returning Americans. We’re excited to continue putting down deeper roots right here at home in Harris County—working alongside local leaders, employers, churches, community organizations, and others committed to helping people move forward.

Clean Slate Day brought together expunction assistance, employment opportunities, occupational driver’s license assistance, and community resources. We were honored to be there doing what we do best: meeting people where they are and helping connect them with meaningful employment.

We’re grateful to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Fallbrook Church, State Representative Charlene Ward Johnson, Commissioner Rodney Ellis, State Senator Molly Cook, Justice of the Peace Wanda Adams, My Brother’s Keeper Houston, and everyone who helped make the event possible.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Your past does not have to define your future.

We’ll keep showing up, building relationships, and Putting Americans Back to Work.
