This is the Largo Elks Tribute page to our veterans!

The Elks National Veterans Service Commission officially came into existence in 1946, on the heels of the War Commission ending and inspired by a passion for continuing to serve those who risked their lives for this country. Join us in a year-long celebration of our history of service!

View our 75th anniversary video.
Celebrate our partners, like Help Heal Veterans, who recently presented the Elks with their 2021 Partner of the Year award.
Read an interview with ENVSC Chair John Amen, as he reflects on our history and how our programs grow and change to best serve veterans.
Help us celebrate by sharing our 75th anniversary logo in Lodge newsletters and online.

"They're Innovators": The Elks Veterans Emergency Assistance Program

Elks National Foundation

At the June 2016 Stand Down for homeless veterans in Chicago, social workers from the Veterans Administration raved about the Elks' new emergency assistance program. Listen to what they had to say in this short video. (Runtime: 2 mins., 20 secs.)

Elks National Foundation

On any given night, an estimated 50,000 veterans are living on the streets. Meet seven vets who were there recently but have now exited homelessness with help from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and community partners like the Elks. Then learn more about the Elks' commitment to eliminating the scourge of veteran homelessness at www.elks.org/vets/welcomehome.cfm.
