Last year’s devastating tornados in Alabama left many with nothing. Rebuilding efforts have been under way ever since, and the Elks at Tuscaloosa, Ala., Lodge No. 393 are among the many who’ve stepped up to help.
“Thank you Elks for preparing dinners throughout the month of March,” writes Community Collaborations. “The volunteers all raved about how delicious the food was. With your help, we were able to have more than 200 volunteers dedicate 8,000 volunteer hours to help Tuscaloosa on the road to recovery.”
The Elks National Foundation helps Lodges serve their communities by offering $2,000 Gratitude Grants. Lodges are eligible to apply for Gratitude Grants after meeting the National President’s per-capita goal for Foundation giving.
