Sanford Lodge provided its 17th ENVSC Welcome Home Kit to a female veteran who recently transitioned from homelessness into a home of her own. The kit provided her with many items needed in a new home. In addition, the lodge learned she would give birth to twins very soon and did not yet have a stroller or car seats. The lodge used $430 from its 2023 Swing 4 Veterans golf tournament to provide a travel double stroller and double car seats. The lodge also included a Florida Elks Children’s Therapy Services “Advance My Baby” book. Donald Soderblom, Lodge Veterans Chair, delivered the kit to the Lake Baldwin VA facility Sept. 16.
