The Eloy Veterans Center (EVC) was started in 2010 to assist Veterans in Eloy and surrounding areas. The efforts first began with the hiring of an AmeriCorps volunteer. This AmeriCorps volunteer was instrumental in developing the EVC and Eloy Veterans Park. The EVC and Eloy Veterans Park are a partnership between the City of Eloy and Pinal Hispanic Council. The EVC and Pinal Hispanic Council began the Eloy Veterans Community Garden in 2016. It is estimated that approximately 500 Veterans and their families are engaged in activities on an annual basis.
