State Veterans Service Commission Chair
Mary Beaston, PER
Fremont #169
Our history supporting American Veterans is as old as our order. Elks from across Ohio directly support Veterans and Veteran Organizations every day.
The Elks National Veterans Service Commission is awarding $1,000 Freedom Grants to projects that serve veterans and active-duty military members to 1,000 lodges across the country.
Over 40,000 American Veterans sleep on the streets every night. The Elks Welcome Home Kit programs is helping eliminate homeless vets by donating $400-$600 in home products per veteran to help get them in a home.
The Elks serve over 275,000 veterans at VA Hospitals across the country every year.
