Jacksonville Elks Lodge #221 delivered its 16th Welcome Home Kit Oct. 11 to U.S. Navy veteran Kenneth. He was most appreciative to receive the basic food and household items, along with furniture pieces. Members David Graham, PER and Rick and Tamy Branch delivered the larger pieces of furniture. Kenneth transitioned from Five Star Veterans Center. Items included a new queen bed, pillows, bedding, blankets, dishes, pots and pans, kitchenware, towels, toiletries, shower liner and rings, paper goods, light bulbs, trash can and bags, cleaning supplies, laundry basket and detergent, coffee maker, and toaster. In addition to the $490.15 spent on kit items, the lodge donated $25 to be used for a food donation for this veteran.
