Cave Creek – Members of the American Legion Post 34 auxiliary work tirelessly to serve Arizona veterans in need. One of the ways they accomplish this goal is by buying fresh meals for residents of the Arizona State Veteran Home-Phoenix.
In June, several auxiliary members made special arrangements to take seven veterans who currently live at the home out to lunch at an area Outback Steakhouse. The Post 34 auxiliary regularly supports the veteran non-profit through donations of personal needs as well as personal time.
“We so enjoyed having lunch and visiting with the veterans,” says Susie Snider, one of the auxiliary’s event planners. “It was a blessing for everyone.”
The mission of the Arizona State Veteran Home-Phoenix to provide professional skilled nursing and rehabilitative care for the geriatric and chronically ill veteran and dependent/surviving spouses throughout the State of Arizona. Its goal is for each veteran to attain or maintain their highest practicable physical, mental and psycho/social well being.
Chartered in 1947, American Legion Post 34 has been giving back to community charitable organizations for more than 76 years. The Post, whose mission is to support and advocate on behalf of veterans, active military and their families, consistently reaches out to assist veterans and others in need.
