As a result of the length of the 2026 Poppy Campaign we have a shortage of drivers. We intend to give each driver a small gas gift card. If you are able to help out the Poppy Campaign please call 902-404-3011. Duty drivers have a reserved parking spot outside the legion front door.

Drivers;

Report to the Poppy Office each morning and deliver the Tip Tap boxes to each of the venues.

At night return boxes to the legion office.

Duty driver also remains with their phone and will be called upon when any venue requires poppy resources.(Pins, bracelets, etc)

Thank You
