(From the Ralph D. Cole American Legion Post 3)

The Ralph D. Cole American Legion Post 3 in Findlay recently donated more than $17,000 to several local charities and community organizations, pushing its total charitable giving for the year to over $50,000.

These donations reflect the Post’s ongoing commitment to supporting veterans, youth programs, and community initiatives that strengthen Findlay and the surrounding area.

“Supporting our community is at the heart of what we do,” said Clark Lamme, Commander of Post 3. “Every dollar we donate comes from the support of our members, volunteers, and community partners who help us live out the Legion’s mission every day.”

Founded in 1919, the Ralph D. Cole American Legion Post 3 has proudly served the Findlay community for more than a century. The Post continues to uphold the four pillars of the American Legion — Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth — through volunteer efforts, events, and charitable contributions.

In addition to its community service, Post 3 invites the public to visit for lunch, served Monday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The Post is open to everyone, and proceeds from meals and events help support its charitable programs throughout the year.
