| Show your fellow Legionnaires some love this February! |
| As we embark on a new year, it’s heartwarming to witness the remarkable influx of new members joining our Legion. Over 43,000 members joined in 2023, bringing us to a total of 256,524 Legion members from coast to coast to coast and abroad! |

| Legion members are feeding their communities |
| Legion Branch 509 in Prince Edward County is working hard to serve their community! They partnered with the Prince Edward County Learning Centre to establish their Good Food Market initiative: a fresh fruit and vegetable market taking place every other Friday. |
| The Good Food Market was launched to help their community access nutritious foods, especially those on a tight budget who may have difficulty affording fresh fruits and vegetables. All produce is sourced as locally as possible, priced as low as possible, available through online orders for in-person pickup. This is a wonderful initiative that benefits the community greatly, especially in these current times. |

| Peer-to-peer support is here |
| The Royal Canadian Legion offers a variety of peer-to-peer support programs to encourage Veterans and their families to connect locally within their communities. Participate in a new hobby like scale modeling through Operation VetBuild, or receive peer support at a Buddy Check Coffee session. |
| Learn more about the Legion’s peer support programs. |
| Remember, Legion supports for Veterans are always free and you don’t need to be a member to access help. For more information, please visit our website. |
