A Historic Location
The building housing American Legion Post 14 has a fascinating history. Originally the officers’ club for an airbase, it was relocated downtown, breathing new life into the structure. Today, it serves as a welcoming clubhouse, equipped with social quarters, meeting rooms, a large hall featuring a projection room and stage, an enclosed back patio, and a fully operational commercial kitchen.
Community Engagement and Charitable Support
American Legion Post 14 is not just a place for veterans; it also acts as a hub for various non-profits that utilize the clubhouse for meetings and events. The organizations within the post engage in fundraising efforts that support numerous programs and charities. Prominent among these are the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation and C.H.A.M.P. (Citizens Helping American Military Personnel), a charity established in Arizona aimed at supporting the Fisher House in Tucson and plans for a similar facility in Phoenix.
Through these initiatives, Post 14 continually demonstrates its commitment to enhancing the quality of life for veterans, their families, and the broader community.
