Veterans Services
Welcome to Fredericksburg Lodge #875 Veterans Service Spot
The Elks National Foundation ensures our veterans are never forgotten.
In 2024-25, the ENF granted $5.7 million to help the Elks National Veterans Service Commission meet the needs of veterans, including more than $2.5 million to help end veteran homelessness.
Elks pledge, “So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.” Our Elks National Veterans Service Commission takes that pledge one step further and promises service to our nation’s veterans and military members, with a special focus on service to those in need.
Our lodged participates in ongoing programs and projects supporting our veterans. Throughout the year special events highlight our commitment to our veterans such as the Parade of Heroes, Veterans Day observance, supporting our local USO locations and laying flags at Quantico National Cemetery on Memorial Day. These are just a few examples of the way our Elks members continue to remember our veterans.
We are always looking for more volunteers to join us and expand our activities and service to our veterans.
