Tampa Elks Lodge member Christina Sanchez committed to preparing and giving out 200 hygiene bags a month during the pandemic. During April, May and June, 632 bags were dispersed along with food to those in need in the community – veterans, struggling families and those who are homeless. The bags included hand sanitizer, face masks, toilet paper and other essential items. They were packed at Tampa Lodge and were handed out at Open Arms Ministry Hyde Park Tampa and First Presbyterian Church in downtown Tampa. Rita Smith and Christina Sanchez are pictured packing bags and Christina and Capriana Sanchez are pictured handing out bags.
