Willoughby - Cleveland Elks #18 Help Keep Veterans Warm This Winter

Today we received another donation of aphgans for distrubution to local veterans in local nursing homes. The ones pictured represent only a small portion that have been donated to us. We distrute these to local nursing facilities, where they are presented in person by representatives of the lodge to the veteran at the facility. We also donate to the veteran women’s shelter which is located in downtown Cleveland on Euclid Ave. as well as the Geauga County Veterans facility.

Exalted Ruler Jeff Romito and Past Exalted Ruler Kirk Kokal stopped at the VRC in Cleveland today to drop off 31 coats and 30 packages of socks to help the homeless veterans who are staying there. But we couldn't have done this alone. A big thanks to The Work Smart Clothing outlet in Willowick, The Diamandback Bar in Eastlake, Top Shelf Embroidery in Mentor for all of their hard work and generous donations that made this possible. The balance of this donation was made possible by The Elks National Foundation.
