Donaldsonville Elks Lodge #1153
The Elks Veterans Program is a public fundraising effort to support veteran service programs that benefit the health and well-being of veterans; those who serve, have served, and have given their lives to protect our democratic way of life…all principles for which Elks deeply believe in and take an oath to protect. The Elks pledge is “So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.” Some of the Elks programs supporting veterans include:
Veterans and Memorial Day Ceremonies, Veterans Food Drive, Roundtable Support Group, Job Fair, Entrepreneurship Program, Golf Classic, and the Freedom Ball just to name a few. Members of the Elk’s Veterans Service Programs Committee actively fundraise, volunteer, and apply for matching grants that allow the Donaldsonville BPOE to host these programs as well as offer its facility to veteran organizations and efforts to improve their lives.
