You should be able to find an American Legion post in the phone book. There is a chapter of one, or the VFW, or both in almost every American city.
It used to be quite common to see the American Legion with poppies and a donation can at supermarkets and many businesses had supplies.
If this tradition, which started in the US in 1921, has faded in recent years perhaps one of our members who is an active member of the Legion could see about reviving it.

From The American Legion website. -
"Until recently, 100 percent of funds derived from the distribution of poppies went toward assisting disabled and hospitalized veterans. However, due to the mounting needs of active-duty servicemembers, Resolution 20 was passed during the Legion’s recent National Executive Committee Spring Meetings to allow donations collected as of May 9, 2013, to not only assist veterans, but also active-duty military personnel and their families with medical and financial needs. Resolution 20 also states that poppy donations collected after May 9 can no longer be used toward Legion family volunteer travel, conferences or apparel. And a post, district or department can only use the funds as outlined in the resolution; they may not be used in a general funds account that’s used for routine expenses. "
7 to 10 business days delivery from there, Steve. Might just be a bit late!
