“Since 9/11, we have been helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. We are also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and helping America to Never Forget September 11, 2001.” (from t2t.org website)
Since the Elks were founded, we have always stated that "as long as there are veterans, the Elks will never forget them." Stop in for this event if you can. Come by and eat, or ask what volunteer help they need.
