What is the Army of Hope Project...

...The ARMY of Hope is a program to assist and help our veterans and their families with the quality of life, in that it helps to fund rental assistance, utility bills (gas and electric, water, etc.) medical bills and many other issues that they are faced with for a better quality of life. Funds are not given directly to any individual and are paid directly to the source of the assistance needed. ....all issues are considered on a case by case basis..

What is Welcome Home Project...

...Every night, as many as 40,000 veterans are living on the streets. Each with a different story, they all shared a common pledge: to support and defend this country. Their service is done. Now, it’s the Elks’ turn to serve.
In partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Elks National Veterans Service Commission has pledged to help end veteran homelessness, and ensure that every veteran has the safe, stable home they deserve.
Welcome Home KitsMost veterans move into their homes with nothing. Elks can help veterans establish their homes by building Welcome Home Kits. Generally, this kit would include some small furniture, kitchenware, and cleaning supplies. Items can be new or used, donated or purchased. The ENVSC will reimburse up to $300 per kit and up to $500 for each kit that includes a bed (dependent on corresponding receipts).
