HACKENSACK — The Hackensack American Legion Auxiliary will distribute poppies to Hackensack businesses Friday and Saturday, May 13-14.

May is Poppy Month, and red poppies are worn to commemorate the sacrifice of men and women who gave their lives fighting for their country. The auxiliary requests that people wear a poppy in memory of U.S. veterans.

Those who wish to donate to the Auxiliary Unit 202 poppy fund to support veterans can leave a check payable to Unit 202 Poppy Fund at the Legion Post or mail it to P.O. Box 414, Hackensack, MN 56452.
