This is Bonnie, the Director of HOPE For All, which is a Christian ministry whose mission is to provide furniture, household items, and clothing to people in our community who are without the financial means to meet their basic needs. We (Bowie Lodge #2309) presented her a donation check from grant funds and also provided cleaning supplies donated by our members. Bonnie and all of the staff were very appreciative.
In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Elks organization, the Bowie Elks Lodge #2309 in Gambrills gifted the AVFD with more than 50 combined smoke/carbon monoxide detectors to distribute to the community. Elks president Brian Shifter presented them to AVFD company president Kitty Gross at Station 7. The lifesaving donation was made possible by a $1,500 grant from the Elks National foundation also known as ENF. For more information on other grants and scholarships available visit www.Elks.org.
