Once again we had the privilege of being part of delivering and assembling an Elks Welcome Home Kit. We have yet to decline an opportunity to be part of this when the Elks reach out. We are excited to not only volunteer, but we also get the Hero’s pantry started. We packed up (4) boxes of non-perishable items and some meats from the WnW Food Pantry.
This is the second Veteran that we recognized from residing at Veterans Haven South. VHS is a transitional housing facility for qualified Veterans. While at VHS, the Veteran is provided with lodging, meals and resources to better themselves to become self sufficient before acquiring their personal residence.
The Elks organization provides Welcome Home Kits for all qualified Veterans that are being newly housed. These kits are impressive! The Veteran is able to select what items he or she may need/want and a crew of Elks and those they network with will deliver, unpack, assemble and help setup their newly acquired residence.
