Last month, volunteers from Carmel American Legion Post 155 Auxiliary set up household items in 44 newly rebuilt apartments at the Manchester Apartments in downtown Indianapolis, providing coffee pots, linens, toasters, silverware and dishes, according to the article.

Twenty-eight volunteers led by committee head Judy Holmes organized the effort, funded mainly by the American Legion Auxiliary Foundation and supported by auxiliaries from Attica, Lebanon, Noblesville, Sheridan and Whitestown. The group had previously equipped 23 renovated units in August 2025 after an accidental fire in October 2024; they also left thank-you notes in each room.
