In April, the Mahanoy City Elks Lodge 695 donated $2,500 to local charities to fund programs for food pantries and feed those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The money was distributed between the American Legion Post 74, Saint Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, and the Shenandoah Food Pantry that is sponsored by the Schuylkill Community Action.
The funds were secured
from a grant supported through the Elks National Foundation
(ENF).
