Toolkit can help posts conduct Buddy Checks during the pandemic

A new toolkit to help American Legion posts touch base with veterans in their communities during the coronavirus pandemic is now available. “How to Perform a Buddy Check During the Coronavirus Pandemic” offers tips about how to reach veterans who may be sheltering and social distancing to find out if they need assistance.

The toolkit explains how to assemble a Buddy Check team and how to acquire the names of Legionnaires, past and present, so they can be contacted. The kit also has sample scripts for Buddy Check callers.
