Veterans Program at the Volunteers of America in Lansing  


The Holt American Legion and Auxiliary Unit recently donated $600 to 
the Volunteers of America, specifically earmarked for the Homeless 
Veterans Program.  The VOA provides a shelter for as many as 35 homeless 
veterans every day, and donations such as this help keep their program in 
tact and viable.  Besides providing a place to sleep and eat, the 
shelter provides several programs that assist these veterans to get them back 
on their feet and back out in the community, such as counseling, 
continuing education and job fairs.  The Holt American Legion, with it’s 
Auxiliary, Sons of the Legion and Legion Riders Unit, are pleased to be 
part of a donating force to keep the Homeless Veterans program going.  
“Veterans Helping Veterans, is what we are about”, says Dale Cousineau.  

The American Legion is the world’s largest veterans’ organization with 
over 3-million members in approximately 16,000 Legion Posts.
