The Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans is partnering with the Hopkins Elks Lodge in working with local and state organizations to provide Welcome Home Kits to homeless veterans moving into new housing. The kits provide the veterans with a jump start in furnishing a new place to live... with a stocked pantry.
