Making sure veterans past and present are being taken care of is the primary focus of the Legion.
Each branch has a veterans service officer in charge of making sure all local veterans are getting the help and support they need.
All requests for help are held in the strictest of confidence, and no personal information is ever shared. The only issue is that the veteran needs to ask for the assistance; the request can not come from a family member or friend.
Anyone who knows of a veteran that is in need of assistance should encourage them to call Elora Legion veterans service officer Greg Oakes at 519-822-1211.
Individuals, groups and businesses in the community can help as well. The money collected through the annual poppy campaign is primarily used to support our veterans.
Please be generous with poppy boxes, even if already wearing a poppy. The Legion also welcomes donations at any time during the year.
If we don’t ensure our veterans are looked after, who will?
