Ira Jacobson American Legion Post 474, Post Home is a nonprofit organization for the betterment of all veterans who have served our country through military service.

The members of IRA. J. Jacobson American Legion Post, their wife’s, (Auxiliary) and their son’s (S.A.L.) continue to serve Veterans and the community. Post 474 members from WW II to present day serve luncheons and entertain Disabled Veterans several times a year. Trips are made to the hospitals and fundraisers are planned to assist those who have served our country.

IRA J. Jacobson, the only American Legion Post Home in the city of Rochester, continues community service year around with several Veteran and local organizations meeting there. 14 community groups and the occasional middle school class use the facilities. Upkeep of this old building can be overwhelming at times. Post 474 purchased the present building from the Sisters of Mercy in 1945. Over the years many improvements have been made to the building, but as typical of old building daily repairs are needed. As with many non-profit organizations, funds for these repairs are tough to come by. With your assistance we can continue to help the area Veterans and the Charlotte community.
