Circleville, Ohio (February 18, 2024) – In a heartwarming display of community support, the local Elks lodge stepped up to help fight hunger in Pickaway County. Through grants from the Elks National Foundation, the lodge proudly presented $4,000 to the Pickaway County Food Pantry and $2,000 to the Meals on Wheels program operated by the Pickaway County Senior Center.

Food Pantry Receives Much-Needed Boost:

The Pickaway County Food Pantry serves countless families struggling with food insecurity. The Elks’ generous $4,000 donation will be used to purchase essential supplies to supplement community donations, ensuring a wider variety of nutritious options for those in need.

Meals on Wheels Delivers Nourishment and Care:

For many homebound seniors, the Meals on Wheels program provides a vital lifeline by delivering hot, nutritious meals and friendly interaction. The Elks’ $2,000 contribution will directly support this crucial program, ensuring our most vulnerable residents receive the nourishment and care they need.

Elks National Foundation: Making a Difference:

These vital donations were made possible thanks to grants from the Elks National Foundation, the charitable arm of the Elks fraternal organization. The foundation invests in communities across the country, focusing on veterans, youth, and various community needs.

This impactful initiative by the Elks lodge demonstrates the power of community support in tackling hunger and improving the lives of Pickaway County residents.
