The Veterans Services Committee dropped off protein snacks, granola bars, electrolyte mixes,tangerines, other snacks and lip balm at the Azusa Armory. They are helping with the fires and the snacks will be easy to take along with them. We were able to use the Freedom grant to accomplish this.
The Elks Lodge has long been a cornerstone of community support, and one of its most cherished missions is to serve our nation’s veterans. Founded on the principles of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity, the Elks Lodge takes pride in honoring those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms.
Historically, the Elks Lodge has provided a haven for camaraderie and service. Since its inception in the late 19th century, it has evolved to embody a commitment not only to its members but also to the wider community, particularly to veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country.
In recent years, the Elks Lodge has launched numerous initiatives specifically aimed at supporting veterans. From offering scholarships for veterans and their families to organizing health and wellness programs, the Lodge ensures that those who served receive the care and respect they deserve. Special events, such as Veterans Day celebrations and fundraising dinners, bring together community members to honor these heroes and raise funds for local veteran organizations.
One veteran shared their experience, stating, "The Elks Lodge opened its doors to me when I returned home. The support I received during my transition back to civilian life was invaluable. I met other veterans who became lifelong friends through the Lodge.” Such stories echo the profound impact that the Elks have on the lives of those who served.
The Elks Lodge invites community members to join in the effort to support veterans. There are numerous opportunities to get involved, from volunteering at events, making donations, or simply attending Lodge functions to show solidarity. Every contribution—whether it be time, resources, or a kind word—helps to uplift our veterans and express gratitude for their service.
