Post 32 Buddy Check Program
American Legion Post 32 is initiating a Member Buddy Check Program and seeks volunteers to contact our membership. The American Legion maintains a formal Buddy Check Program with extensive resources for organizing and managing veteran outreach. Since its launch four years ago, the program has successfully reached and assisted over 1 million veterans. Participation among local American Legion posts has risen from 3,683 to 4,456 during this period. These Buddy Checks are benevolent outreach calls to veterans within the community, intended to assess their well-being and extend local post assistance, distinct from membership drives or fundraising activities. Contact information for American Legion members and former members is accessible via the MyLegion.org platform. We invite Post 32 members to join our Buddy Check Team, which will collaborate closely with the Post Membership Committee.
Interested individuals may contact Gary DeMars at 248-982-1606 or via email at gary@demars.me. Upon team formation, meetings or virtual conferences will be scheduled to detail the program procedure.
