The lodges contributed $1,000 to the Food Bank. Their contribution will make it possible for the Food Bank to provide about 2 and 1.2 tons of food to feed hungry men, women, and children. The donation is especially appreciated this time of year as school is out and more families are financially stressed to make up for the loss of meals provided by the schools.
