When the veterans were ready to return to their home, each one was presented with a gift bag and a monetary donation along with other goodies.
The lodge was able to raise more than $2,900 from businesses and member donations to support its Veterans Committee.
Lodge members also attended the veterans’ bingo that is held once each month at the Menlo Park home.
