Years of use and service has left the legion in desperate need of repairs. We are raising funds for a significant restoration of the American Legion so that it may continue to serve our local veterans, military members, and community.
If you would like to make a donation in honor of a family member, loved one, or friend.
From Memorial Day to Labor Day the American Legion Mitchell Post #281 proudly displays American Flags along Route 114. Unfortunately due to weather, these flags must be replaced each year. Help us maintain the patriotic spirit of Shelter Island by donating to the Flag Fund.
​
The flag fund additionally allows us to provide bronze American Legion grave markers on all veteran graves located on Shelter Island.
