Veterans Services
Our Promise
"So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.
Our Programs
We connect with veterans and military members in their communities, providing them with services where they live. We help veterans rehabilitate and thrive through adaptive sports programs and therapy kits. Our Welcome Home initiative is reaching out to some of our most vulnerable veterans: those who are experiencing homelessness.
Veteran Volunteer Award
The Veteran Volunteer of the Year Award honors those who have demonstrated outstanding service to veterans and military members in need. Nomination forms can be submitted directly to your State Veterans Chair by the state deadline.
