Newark Elks Lodge #391 used the Elks National Foundation (ENF) Freedom Grant to provide temporary housing units to the Licking County Veterans Service Commission. 15 weather-proof sleeping bags, pillows and personal hygiene kits were delivered to assist temporary homeless veterans with bedding when short term housing is unavailable.

This need is especially helpful during the mid-wests winter season.
