The Army of Hope is a program of the Florida State Elks Association established in 2007. Its mission is to provide aid assistance to the families of deceased, disabled, and deployed members of the military. The families of Florida active duty military personnel, military reservists, Coast Guard, the National Guard, and/or their dependents are eligible. An active duty member stationed in Florida with his/her dependents would qualify as a Florida resident. The help you give through the Florida Army of Hope allows the military member to safely concentrate on his/her duties without worrying about the family at home. The Army of Hope also assists returning veterans with costs to re-establish their civilian life after deployment.

Examples of aid assistance include:

School lunches, Medical and dental emergencies not covered by insurance, Minor home repairs (plumbing, painting, etc.), Auto repairs or transportation when needed, Full-time or back-up babysitting, Phone cards to contact loved ones, Lawn mowing, landscaping, sprinkler repairs, A/C and major appliance repairs, Clothing, shoes, Provide funds for past due bills after a deployment that were incurred as a result of a deployment
