On Nov. 21, Hollywood West Elks Lodge #2365 used its Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant and teamed with Hope Outreach Center to distribute gift cards and Thanksgiving food for families in need. The lodge donated $2,000 worth of Publix gift cards and the center donated food. HOPE (Helping Other People Everyday) Outreach Center is located in Davie, Florida, near the lodge and serves southwest Broward County by offering food, financial support, and educational and social services.
