The 2026 Poppy campaign is well underway, with money raised staying here in the community, helping veterans, their families and several organizations.
Poppy Chair Tina Reid says donations support veterans who need medical equipment or other assistance, as well as their spouses and children.
The Legion also provides funding to organizations such as Wounded Warriors, the Napanee hospital and the Sea Cadets.
Reid notes there are some limitations on what the Legion can spend poppy funds on.

The Napanee Legion’s Remembrance Day parade will welcome veterans and community members, with participants asked to gather at 10:30 a.m. at the Legion. Everyone is welcome to attend the ceremony at the cenotaph on Thomas Street, followed by a light luncheon and gathering at the Legion.
For those unable to attend the ceremony in person, it will be streamed live on the Hustle & Heart 88.7 myFM Facebook Page.
