We have been sharing information about the Amazon Smile program for some time now. A few Legionnaires seized the idea, put it to work, and generated some success. At least one Legionnaire has generated over $194 as of November 8, 2021.
If this is what one Legionnaire can generate, just think . . . how much more support for our veterans we could generate if you and all those you know: your Legion Family members (Legionnaires, Sons of the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, and American Legion Riders), your family members (Facebook & your real friends) all took advantage of the Amazon Smile Program and put it to work to support our veterans? The more supporters who become involved, the more support we will receive for our veterans. This is how those little donations little by little, really start to count.
A CALL TO ACTION
Please ask others you know to give us a little help and shop with a Smile!
We need a lot of people making a lot of little donations,
in order for the Amazon Smile Program to generate the donations we need.

When you select, as your charity,
THE AMERICAN LEGION CA VETERANS AFFAIRS
AND REHABILITATION FOUNDATION
a small amount of your purchase is donated by the Amazon Smile program in support of our veterans.
It cost you nothing, Amazon makes the donation. Individually the amount donated is not much, but little by little the small amount donated by Amazon counts as a lot of support for our veterans.
