Build 128 Fundraiser
For American Legion Post 128
in Decatur County, TN
We need $250,000 to erect a building and welcome in more of our community.
◉ Host meetings for veterans of the re-energized Post 128 (right now we’re meeting in a cafe).
◉ Offer an affordable space available to neighbors (pancake breakfasts, scouting events, meetings, birthday parties, etc).
◉ Create a 4,000 ft2 community center with 60 parking spots that brings people together all the time.

Why We’re Doing It
1- BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. With a new 4,000 ft2 community building with 60 parking spots, we can bring together 1,000+ people annually for many reasons and causes.
2- HELP CHILDREN. We are already renting our current building to Head Start. And, in 2023 and 2024, we gifted $5,000/year to get kids supplies they need. We could do much more with a new space.
3- SUPPORT VETERANS. Instead of meeting at a cafe, Post 128 would have an official headquarters. And it needs it, because it's growing!
The Post used to be quite sizable. But since COVID, it diminished down to around 5 members. In the past 2 years, it's been invigorated with new energy! It now has 50 members with at least 20 attending each monthly meeting. And it continues to grow.
4- UPLIFT THE ECONOMY. Decatur County is one of the poorest in Tennessee. Let's infuse new energy and create place-based solutions to uplift local businesses.
