Legion Post 331 Makes Donation To Assist County Vets

Posted July 26th 2021

The American Legion Post 331 of Stone Harbor presented a check for $3,000 to the Citizens/Veterans Advisory Committee on July 7. The donation was made in support of the organization’s continuing efforts to assist homeless veterans and other veterans in need within Cape May County.

CVAC was created in 2013 with a mission to promote awareness of veterans’ needs, and to identify proper resources for referrals that support these needs to enhance the lives of our veterans. The initial focus of the organization included three key issues concerning veterans of all ages in Cape May County: homelessness, transportation, and benefits.

“The unique thing about the Citizens/Veterans Advisory Committee is that it is a focal point for coordinating support to our local veterans in need,” said Legion historian Art Faint. “TheLegion works to support many organizations throughout the county that mirror our mission to assist veterans.”

The Stephen C. Ludlam American Legion Post #331 is a volunteer organization of current and former military personnel with an objective to support those who served in the armed forces. Through a variety of annual fundraisers, the Post has donated to veteran and local organizations. Go to stephencludlampost331.org for more information or to become a member.
