Thanks to all Veterans who fought for the right of a Free Press, and the Right to vote. You can adopt a living Vet thru the Elks Lodge.

Many older veterans in hospitals, VA homes, nursing homes and care centers have limited or no family nearby. Without social engagement and positive interaction, veterans’ health can suffer. The Elks family is all over the nation, and Elks volunteers can support local veterans by participating in the Adopt-a-Veterans Program and providing friendship and assistance.
Eligibility: This program is targeted toward any veterans that are lonely or isolated.

Individuals can adopt more than one veteran, and Lodges can adopt certain floors, units or even whole facilities.
