VERGENNES — During December, American Legion Post 14 in Vergennes focused on the needs of the local community in several different ways.
The Legion Post donated $2,750 to Jackman Fuels’ Heating Assistance Fund and $1,250 to the Vergennes Community Food Shelf, which is housed at the Vergennes Congregational Church. Both donations included funds from the Vermont Pikers, a group of fishermen from the Metro West Boston area who have been coming to Vermont to fish for northern pike each February since the 1980s.
