Tampa Elks Lodge #708 used its $2,500 Elks National Foundation Freedom Grant to offer community support for two programs at the James A. Haley VAMC. One project is the creation of a lactation room for new mothers, and the other project is the annual Make a Difference Day, which provides gifts and comfort items to veterans being housed in licensed private homes. Usually this event is run like an angel tree, but with the VA being on COVID lockdown, they requested financial assistance only at this time. Pictured at the check presentation April 14 are Angela Reinhardt, program support; Tammy Tennace, Women’s Maternity Care coordinator; Brian Brantley, PER; Diane Meleen, Elks Deputy VAVS Representative; and Janeth Lopez, Voluntary Service specialist.
