The Virginia Elks support our veterans with our Welcome Home Program, our Prevent Homeless Program and our Prade of Heroes Program. Virginia Elks provide safety glasses to local first responders, high school vocational classes, biology classes and to community colleges. Our local lodges also support many local charities, aide the homeless, support local food banks, provide school supplies to needy children and help local sport teams.
