In February, 2003, the Elks National Veterans Service Commission announced a program of mobilizing an “Army of Hope” to assist the families of Military Reservists and the National Guard who have been called to active duty during a time of crisis.
The “Army of Hope” has many facets and literally any activity that supports our troops and their families falls under this vital program.
Lodges are partnering with local and state organizations to adopt units and families through trying times.
The program was recently initiated in the Southeast District and our Lodge is thrilled to have the opportunity to further assist our military by hosting the event annually.
