South Houston American Legion Post 490's mission is in line with the American Legion’s Four Pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth. Each of these encompasses a variety of programs that benefit our nation's veterans, its service members, their families, the youth of America and ordinary citizens. Post 490 is conveniently located across the street from Ellington Airport - a host to military and civilian aviation operations.

The Birthday Joy Program’s mission is to encourage a sense of self-worth and a feeling of hope to children living in crisis through the joy of birthday celebrations.   We offer birthday assistance to families, partner with social service agencies and schools to celebrate their clients, and throw birthday parties in local shelters.
