What We Do
Our energy and efforts are focused on the excellent youth programs supported by The American Legion. Our Post supports five High Schools in Cobb County: Allatoona, Kennesaw Mountain, Mt.

Where Does the Money Go?
Unlike most national nonprofits, all money generated by Post 304 stays in Cobb County for the benefit of helping local veterans and youth, and to pro-vide scholarship(s) to worthy Student/Veterans at Kennesaw State University. We are always seeking donations to assist with or enhance our activities.
