On Oct. 30, the Palm Coast Elks Lodge Veterans Committee donated $2,500 from its fundraising efforts to the Grace Community Food Pantry and Team Feed Flagler to help feed food-challenged veterans and their families during the holidays. The donation will fund grocery gift cards for verified veterans in need, distributed through the Disabled American Veterans organization.
