Veterans & Family Support
Supporting hospitalized veterans and military families through national and Department of Arizona Auxiliary programs.
Hazelton-Butler Auxiliary
American Legion Auxiliary Unit #53.
The Auxiliary is the heart of the community-service work at Post 53. A spousal and family organization carrying the mission forward in Buckeye since the Post itself was chartered in 1929.
Auxiliary Unit #53 stands beside Post 53. Where the Post is the home for veterans, the Auxiliary is the home for military families, and together we are stronger. Most of the volunteer hours that make our programs run - the ceremonies decorated, the scholarships awarded, the families looked after - come through the Auxiliary.
Auxiliary Unit #53 is a spousal and family organization, open to spouses and eligible family members of American Legion members and wartime veterans. If you have a veteran in your family, you have a place in this Unit.
Auxiliary Unit #53 hosted Post 53's 95-year charter celebration on June 15, 2024. The current Unit officers are being confirmed and will be published on the Post Officers page.

Membership
Eligible? We'd love to have you.
Eligibility for the American Legion Auxiliary is rooted in the same wartime service periods that govern Legion membership. If a spouse, parent, sibling, or other eligible family member served during a qualifying period, you can join.
Get the official eligibility periods at legion-aux.org, or call us and we'll walk you through it.
