In April, Sebring Elks Lodge #1529 participated in the Florida State Elks Association’s Walgreens Community Food Drive. Sebring and Avon Park Walgreens stores’ customers donated nonperishable food items, which were collected by lodge members Linda Shuback, Gail Zemper and Sam Schroeder. A total of 696 items were brought to the lodge and a high school student spent several hours sorting, counting and organizing the items. The lodge then donated the items to the Avon Park Hands for Homeless feeding program to restock their pantry.
