Elks gets $4K grant for food bank

This contribution was made possible through the Elks National Foundation’s Beacon Grant Parogram, which are designed to address critical community issues and require active lodge involvement. “There is a definite need in Anaconda-Deer Lodge County to help keep Project Care’s shelves stocked, and it is a privilege to support both the organization and our community,” Hansen said.
