On Nov. 1, Tampa Elks Lodge #708 used its Elks National Veterans Service Commission Freedom Grant to treat veterans experiencing homelessness from Salvation Army and Liberty Manor for Veterans to a narrated sightseeing trip through the Downtown Tampa waterways, followed by lunch at a waterside café. Nine Elks also participated and socialized with the veterans. Every participant agreed it was a pleasant and relaxing morning, and both groups were profuse in their gratitude.
