Legion Auxiliary to Hold Annual Adopt a Vet Program

Legion Auxiliary to Hold Annual Adopt a Vet Program

For 14 years, the John Lewis Shade American Legion Auxiliary Post 6 has hosted the Adopt a Vet Program.

Senior living centers such as The Colonial Courtyard, Mountain Laurel Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center and Knickerbocker Villa submit names of veteran residents each year for the holiday season.

As in previous years, it is customary for American Legion Auxiliary members to visit each veteran and present them with a gift and give them thanks.

This November, the auxiliary is working with Donna Porter to provide veterans with quilts.

The adoption fee of $45 will get your veteran a local hand-made quilt and personalized holiday card, delivered just in time for the holidays.

Veterans will be available for “adoption” until Nov. 29, 2024.

If you would like to adopt a local veteran, their names and living center will be posted at the John Lewis Shade American Legion Post 6, Clearfield, 210 S. Second St., Clearfield, PA 16830, or by e-mailing Shannon Wolanski at smwolanski07@yahoo.com.
