On March 19, 2023, the Greece American Legion Auxiliary Unit 468 and VFW Auxiliary Post 4658, both located at the Greece American Legion on Dorsey Road, held a “No Sew” blanket event for the children of our Legion’s members.
Nine children participated in cutting and tying the blankets. The blankets are being donated to The Bovina Child Advocacy Center for abused children, and Children Awaiting Parents, Inc., Foster Care Program.
The goal was to teach children how they can have a positive impact on our community by helping other children who may be struggling, or just need to know that someone cares.
Our goal was successfully met, the smiles on the kids faces, along with the 22 beautiful blankets that they created, shows how engaged the kids were in the program.
Some kids didn’t even know each other when they came, but they all pitched in and worked together as a team. It was an amazingly fulfilling experience watching them learn and help each other, even with the age differences.
All of us at the American Legion and VFW are so very proud of their hard work and what they have accomplished.
