1529 NUHOPE

On Sept. 8, Sebring Lodge donated its $3,500 Elks National Foundation Beacon Grant to Nu-Hope, a private not-for-profit organization that provides services to those over 60 years of age. The services come in many forms including nutritional (home-delivered meals, etc.), in-home (personal care, etc.), caregiver services (education and training, etc.), exercise/health and transportation. Their goal is "to promote the well-being of seniors and to reduce nursing home placement.” This year more than any other year, the needs of seniors have greatly increased due to the pandemic. One of Nu-Hope's sources of income is its annual golf tournament which has been cancelled, so the Sebring Elks are proud to assist them in this dire time.
