2022

I cannot express how proud I am of all the lodges and the hard work and dedication members are doing for our Veterans.  2022 has been an amazing year.

We've distributed almost 1500 Welcome4 Home Kits since the program started.  That's almost $450,000 generated in WA State for Veteran aide.  Over 200 Military and Veteran families received holiday meals, 1513 back packs, up from 1,464 backpacks, last year, were distributed to Military and Veteran Families in the State.  Hundreds of military families, with almost 1000 children received holiday toys for under the tree for Christmas.  Tacoma lodge provided almost $6,000 in support of our military families.  "We could not have helped this many families with out them!!  

Washington State is definitely the A Team when it comes to support for our Service Members and Veterans.  You are all truly amazing!
