On Nov. 17, Hollywood West Lodge partnered with the Community Church of Davie to feed members of the community at Thanksgiving. As many as 100 families in need attended a dinner celebration hosted by Pastor Scott Didriksen and members of his staff and congregation. At the conclusion of the dinner, Pastor Didriksen introduced Gina Albright, Exalted Ruler, and the lodge volunteers who assisted in distributing food bags and 100 $20 gift cards, purchased with the Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant. Each family received a food bag filled with popular Thanksgiving food items and a $20 Publix grocery gift card presented by a lodge member.
