On Jan. 10, Pensacola Beach Elks Lodge #497 donated $4,000 in lodge funds and a $2,000 Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant to Outreach Navarre Inc. for the South Santa Rosa weekend food program. The program provides weekend food packages of meal and snack items to approximately 165 kids who participate in the free lunch program at their schools. Outreach Navarre was founded in August 2015 when two local mothers joined forces to help combat student hunger over the weekends in Navarre.
