On Aug. 19, DeLand Elks Lodge #1463, in conjunction with Veterans Administration and Changing Homelessness, a veteran-focused group, held an event at the lodge to provide information and assistance to unhoused veterans in Volusia County. The event helped 14 veterans find permanent housing, that day. It also provided veterans with information about legal help, navigating the VA process, suicide prevention, transportation, and medical care through the VA's mobile medical facility (pictured), which was also at the event. The lodge donated $500 to the program and over 50 veterans were assisted during the event.
