“The notice from our national headquarters was totally unexpected,” said veteran and Legion president Joe Mewett.
“Yes, we did apply for funding to help offset some of our costs incurred during our COVID closure, but figured there were branches in more dire need.
“We were closed for approximately eight months, and, like most businesses, we still had expenses that had to be paid.”
On top of that, Mewett added, the Legion must support veterans, families and the community, which he called never-ending.
“Without our lounge and activities revenue, reserve funding can disappear quickly,” he said.
“These funds are a welcome relief, and will enable us carry on support to veterans and those in need.”
