The proceeds from the Poppy Program are used to provide hardship assistance to veterans. On Memorial Day \u2014 May 25 \u2014 it served up hot dogs and chili dogs at American Legion Post 123 on Sanibel. The Auxiliary thanked everyone who participated in and supported the Poppy Program. The generosity helps it continue its mission of assisting veterans in need in the community. The Auxiliary hopes to expand its future outreach by supporting the Honor Flight Program.
