Committee Report March 2021

Donation to James A Haley Medical Foster Veterans

On March 11, 2021 Lakeland Elks lodge provided $500.00 in gift cards to the entire Medical Foster Program which includes approximately 45 veterans.  The gift cards were in $10 increments to various restaurants and Walmart.  These are used in a treatment plan as a tool to assist with cognitive skills in creating a shopping plan. 

Most love to get food after their doctor’s appointments and if the caregiver doesn’t have to pay, they are more likely to go.
