HELP WITH OUR HOMELESS VETS PROJECT

Our core mission is to help local homeless Veterans that are facing serious life challenges. Your donation is an expression of gratitude to those that signed a blank check to our nation for any cost up to and including their life and are now facing serious life challenges. Our Post is committed to supporting these veterans. Our 2024 2nd annual 5k event was a great success but the need continues. Please consider making a tax deductible donation to The Gahanna American Legion Post 797 Homeless Veteran Project. Our Post is a 501(c)(19) and all donations are tax deductible.
