Santa Barbara Elks Veterans Support Programs:
Over $15,000 in local programs funded annually.
The Santa Barbara Elks Veterans Support Programs help to provide local veterans and their families access to a wide range of services, counseling and resources. Our 'Bring a Vet to Lunch' Program connects local veterans with insights and guidance from experts, and is an Elks National Grant Recipient. From providing transportation to a medical clinic to giving a local veteran bus tokens or a snack, no need is too small or too great to meet. Serving local veterans is our mission.
