Children & Youth

The purpose and principles of the American Legion Auxiliary’s Children and Youth Program are in general the same as those of The American Legion. Although the program is derived from mandates of The American Legion, the Auxiliary augments and adds to it through its continuing support of the overall program as well as through the sponsorship of special assignments and activities.
Pass the Pig!
At each monthly meeting, ALA Unit 552 members “Pass the Pig” to collect money for Children & Youth.
Children’s Corner at La Jolla VA Hospital
Our unit donated tables, chairs, coloring books, activity books and story books to the Primary Care Clinic at the La Jolla VA hospital, Oceanside clinic, and Mission Valley VA clinic. This provides children with something to do while waiting on a family member who is being cared for at the hospital.
