Introduction to Post 14
The American Legion is a worldwide veterans non-profit association that plays a crucial role in providing support and resources for veterans and their families. Post 14 in Kingman, Arizona, is an integral part of this organization, featuring several affiliated groups such as the Sons of the American Legion, the American Legion Auxiliary, and the American Legion Riders. Together, they create a thriving community dedicated to the well-being of its members.
Facilities and Community Engagement
The Post 14 clubhouse, originally the old officers club for a nearby airport when it was an air base, has a rich history. After being moved downtown, it now features a welcoming space that includes social quarters, meeting rooms, a large hall equipped with a projection room and stage, an enclosed back patio, and a full commercial kitchen. This versatile facility serves as a meeting place for various non-profits, fostering community engagement and collaboration.
Charitable Initiatives and Support
The organizations within Post 14 actively raise funds for numerous programs and charities, with two notable initiatives being the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation and C.H.A.M.P. (Citizens Helping American Military Personnel). These charities play an essential role in supporting military families, including contributions to the Fisher House in Tucson and the planned Fisher House in Phoenix. Through their dedication to service and community support, Post 14 continues to make a significant impact on the welfare of veterans and their families in Arizona.
