During these trying times, The American Legion Leroy Hill Post 19 Family has formed an assistance fund to help our members with their grocery/food needs over the coming weeks, if needed. If you are a member of The American Legion Post 19, Sons of the American Legion Squadron 19, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 19, or American Legion Riders Chapter 19, and are in need of assistance, please contact one, or all, of the committee members below to help. Above all else, keep yourselves and your families healthy by staying home, social distancing when you have to be out, and washing your hands. Remember, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! As always, thank you for your service and continuing to serve! Post 19 Commander, Randall Faircloth
