American Legion Post 50

Who We Are

The American Legion, chartered by Congress in 1919, evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of The Great War into one of the most influential nonprofit  organization in the United States, providing health, legal, educational resources to veterans, servicemembers, and their communities. Post 50 was established in Paso Robles in 1924 and its force of local veterans works with community partners to help veterans and their families navigate Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics, pension issues, and healthcare needs and provides opportunities for civic engagement and Americanism to local youth.
