Support provided military families

The Chili American Legion Post 1830 has announced the availability of a little known program available to families of men and women called to active duty in our nation’s military service. This service is known as “The American Legion Family Support Network.” It is a national program, available to aid families of American servicemen and women called to active duty worldwide.

The American Legion Family Support Network offers financial assistance as well as help with childcare, home maintenance or just someone to talk to, to all of America’s active duty service people and their families.

Call 1-800-504-4098, toll free. The call will go directly to The American Legion National Office in Indianapolis, Indiana. You’ll be asked to leave contact information and an explanation of your need. The information will be sent to an American Legion Post in your area. Someone in your area will contact you within 48 hours.
