Auxiliary Unit 368

The Backus American Legion Auxiliary is part of the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization and is one of over 10,000 units in the United States and some foreign countries. The Backus Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace. Along with the Backus Legion, the Auxiliary solidly stands behind America and is extremely supportive of the local community through the many services and fundraising activities the Auxiliary plans and operates. The Backus Auxiliary raises approximately $8,000.00 per year, and proceeds from fundraising efforts are distributed back into the community.
