American Legion Post 69 in Lafayette will host their first Patriot Home Giveaway in 2022.
The Post says the giveaway will help to reopen their post home and bring back programs to the veteran community in Lafayette. According to Post 69, approximately 37,000 veterans reside in the Acadiana region with 19 percent living with a service-connected disability.
The American Legion says it continues to be committed to helping our veterans and their families understand their benefits and provide resources, programming, and services in the form of personal assistance, cash grants, donated goods, disaster relief, labor, workforce training, networking, volunteerism, and advocacy.
Both monetary and in-kind sponsorships are currently being sought for the giveaway and will be accepted until November 30, 2021.
Tickets for the home will go on sale on January 1, 2022 with a drawing for the home taking place on March 31, 2022.
The home is located at 238 Alpine Drive in the Berchman Oaks area of Scott.
