Long overdue improvements have been authorized by the Home Depot Foundation

The Middleburg American Legion applied for and received a grant from the Home Depot Foundation to provide material and labor to effect improvements to the American Legion Hall at 111 The Plains Road. The American Legion is a leader in supporting community service projects and making its hall available on a low cost basis for community functions to include wedding, birthday and anniversary parties, bar and bat mitzvahs as well as a place to congregate for a repast in celebration of a recent decedent's life.

Once Post Commander Eric Lindengren and Vice Commander John Moliere contacted the Chantilly Home Depot and submitted the necessary forms and requisite paperwork, the local Home Depot, led by Anyae' Bell and her technical staff sprung into action. To date only half the work has been completed. The land cleared of underbrush and trash plants, the exterior has been power washed and spray painted and mums have been planted around the flagpole.

The front door, pediment and hardware are scheduled to be replaced this week as well as the two front and three back windows. The members of the American Legion are proud of our facility and are especially proud to share it with the community. Contact Ricky Bell at (540) 364-3550 to make reservations.

Since 2011, The Home Depot Foundation have transformed more than 40,000 homes and facilities. Additionally, more than a quarter of a billion dollars given to veteran-related causes. When it comes to supporting the brave men and women of our armed forces, The Home Depot Foundation is all in.
