Members of St. Augustine Elks Lodge #829 delivered 14 Welcome Home Kits for veterans Feb. 11 to Veterans Village. This facility used to be the Old Town Motel on Anastasia Island in St. Augustine. It has 22 units and serves as transitional or permanent housing, depending on each veteran’s needs. A lodge committee was formed to provide Welcome Home Kits. A basic kit was devised and wish lists were provided to personalize the kits.
