American Legion Post 100 of Springfield Twp. Pa.

Formed and chartered in July 1919, the Arthur V. Savage Post 100 of the American Legion has faithfully and diligently supported and cared for Veterans and their families of Springfield Township, supported and sponsored many youth organizations and other community activities, and has been a fixture of the community for over 100 years.

Some of our programs include financial support for Veterans in need through payment of medical expenses and other needs. Sponsorship of youth activities including little league, scouting, scholarships and other academic goals. Sponsorship of participants in the special Olympics and international wheelchair games, the annual Memorial Day Parade and Community Day celebration to name a very few.

The funds needed to conduct these activities have traditionally been through the income of our canteen operations and fund raising events (largely attended by our membership).

Due to the passing of many of our Veteran members, our abilities to fulfill our mission’s financial needs are straining but we must continue.

 Now, due to the predicament, we find ourselves placed in by the current pandemic and being unable to open our canteen or perform fund raising events, our continued service to our community is in jeopardy. Funds needed to maintain our building as well as those needed to continue our mission as Veterans are depleted. We are now asking for the help of our community in supporting our organization so we may continue to serve the local community as we have served our nation.

Thank You.
