On Dec. 6, Green Cove Springs Lodge used the Elks National Foundation Anniversary Grant to donate sweatshirts and books to the first-grade students at Charles E. Bennett Elementary School. Each of the 88 students received two books and a sweatshirt just in time for winter vacation. Remaining funds were donated to the school's resource teachers for classroom supplies.
