Elks Lodge helps furnish two homes of Middleboro veterans

MIDDLEBORO — Thanks to the Middleboro Elks, two area veterans received assistance as they moved into their new homes. 

The organization participated in the national Elks Welcome Home program to assist veterans who faced a long hospitalization or homelessness moving into a new house or apartment. 

The Middleboro Elks veterans committee spoke with both veterans to determine what household supplies they needed and wanted for their spaces, and provided over $400 worth of items to each of them. 

Veterans interested in participating in the program can contact the Middleboro Elks lodge secretary or ask for a referral from a qualified veterans service agency.
