Our Auxiliary
Our Mission
The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 703 of Fox Lake, Illinois is a welcoming and dedicated group of volunteers committed to supporting veterans, military families, and the greater Fox Lake community.
As an integral part of the Post 703, the Auxiliary works hand in hand with Legion members to honor the service of those who have worn the uniform, while also promoting patriotism, education, and community service throughout the region.
Unit 703 is made of individuals from all walks of life who share a common goal: to give back to those who have served our country. Whether organizing local events, supporting youth programs, or assisting veterans in need, the members of the Auxiliary bring compassion, energy, and a strong sense of purpose to everything they do.
