Florida Keys Lodge presented Pastor Kerry Foote of the Burton Memorial Church in Tavernier, Florida, with a $2,000 donation from the Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant to assist with purchasing goods for their food pantry, which is frequently visited by those still affected by the COVID pandemic. Pastor Foote thanked the Lodge and stated that “the holidays are a crucial time to come together as a community and help one another.” Lodge members frequently volunteer at the church to assist with the food pantry and on Wednesdays for the free dinners held at the church.
