1224 mouse july 

On July 28, St. Petersburg Lodge donated $2,000 from its Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant to The Kind Mouse Productions Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in St. Petersburg, Florida, that assists children in Pinellas County with food insecurities and chronic hunger. The Kind Mouse has been committed to feeding children on weekends through their mouse nibbles program. Now, with the pandemic, they have boosted their services to feeding kids and sometimes their families on a weekly basis. By providing mouse nibbles bags for kids, parents know their children are fed and can have one less stressor during this difficult time. This is the lodge’s second donation to The Kind Mouse because the lodge has an ongoing commitment to making it as easy as possible for local program operators to get food to children impacted by the pandemic. It remains critical that children continue to receive safe, healthy and nutritious food while staying home safe.
