Empowering Veterans & Communities: The Heart of Tenth District Auxiliary
Who are we?
The 10th District American Legion Auxiliary is a dedicated organization committed to supporting veterans, active military members, and their families across Minnesota's Tenth District. As a key part of the American Legion Family, the Auxiliary plays an essential role in advocating for veteran rights, promoting patriotic service, and fostering a sense of community.
Through various programs and initiatives, members work together to make a positive impact, from sponsoring youth development programs to coordinating charitable events and volunteer efforts. Their mission is rooted in honoring those who served and uplifting the communities they call home.
