Additionally, the Indiana Legion recently partnered with Teamsters 135 to fill a 53’ trailer with supplies here at Department Headquarters to be expedited to where the need is greatest as the situation with Hurricanes Harvey and Irma develop. This will allow the Indiana Legion to take a proactive approach in providing aid to those who need it most over the next few weeks!
​

​​The trailer is in the Headquarters lot now. Staff is on-hand 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. M – F, and on Sunday, September 10 from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. for Legion Day. The goal is to send the trailer to where it’s needed most on Wednesday, September 13. At this current date, that place is Houston Post 490, however this is subject to change as we watch Hurricane Irma head toward the continental U.S.
