Last night, we had the honor of welcoming members of the Lacey Elks MC to our monthly meeting, where they presented New Boots New Roots with an incredibly generous donation.

What makes this gift even more meaningful is the story behind it. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of the Lacey Elks MC Scavenger Hunt chose to donate their prize winnings back to the club so they could be presented to New Boots New Roots in support of our mission.

To everyone involved—thank you. Your generosity, kindness, and continued belief in what we’re building means more than words can express.

The Lacey Elks MC has been a tremendous supporter of New Boots New Roots, and we are truly grateful for the friendship and encouragement you’ve shown us along the way.

Because of partners like you, we’re able to continue standing beside our newly enlisted service members and their families as they begin their military journey.

Thank you Lacey Elks #2518 Motorcycle Committee We are honored to have your support. 🇺🇸❤️💙

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the freedoms that have defined our nation for 250 years. As America marks this historic anniversary, we’re reminded that our independence has always been protected by the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of those who choose to serve.

At New Boots New Roots, we’re honored to stand beside the newest generation of service members as they begin their military journey—and to support the families who serve right alongside them.

As you enjoy time with family, friends, and fireworks today, please take a moment to remember the men and women in uniform, those serving far from home, our veterans, and the families who support them every step of the way.

From all of us at New Boots New Roots, we wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth of July.

🇺🇸 250 Years of Freedom. One Nation. Countless Heroes. 🇺🇸
