The ENF is proud to announce the four Elks scholars who most demonstrated outstanding community service initiatives. Each will receive a $500 Cornerstone Grant. Read about their projects below! Allison Barr Allison will use her grant to promote healthy living to girls at her local YMCA, through the Project SOAR Mentoring Program. She will hold a biweekly program that will teach the girls to create healthy snacks, engage them in activities such as basketball and demonstrate the benefits of healthy eating and exercise. Allison Doub Allison, a Study-Time Volunteer at StormBreak, a group home for adolescent girls dealing with emotional issues who are working towards permanency with family or foster care, will use her grant to purchase a dishwasher and food storage containers for the home.
