Miami Elks Lodge #948 used its Elks National Foundation Focus Grant Aug. 8-13 to shop, sort and deliver food, cleaning products and personal hygiene products to residents of Modern Towers, along with other donations from the VA ALLIANCE and other donations from grocery stores in the area. The lodge had enough items for 75 families. Modern Towers is an apartment complex that provides permanent housing for veterans and first responders who were previously homeless. The lodge had more than 25 volunteers, both Elks and non-Elks, who participated in this project.
