The Cloverlane Foundation once again participated in this year’s Santa Maria Elks Veterans Mini Stand Down. It was held at the Elks Lodge #1538 on Thursday, September 5, 2024. The foundation has given away free clothing to veterans for almost two years. The Elks event offers veterans assistance with benefits, resources, education, therapy service, clothing, housing and employment.
Over a dozen veteran organizations including representatives from the Department of Veterans Affairs/VA Clinic were there to ensure our veterans and their families get the help they need and deserve. In total there were 138 in attendance with 116 veterans representing different branches of service. Cloverlane gave away 300 pairs of socks to needy veterans with help from the Santa Maria Elks Veterans Committee. Additionally, the Veterans Committee bought over 100 multi-purpose pocketknives which were given to our veterans.
Please thank our veterans and our brothers and sisters in the military for their service.
