On Nov. 23 in conjunction with One More Child, an organization that provides foster care, Gainesville Elks Lodge #990 distributed full Thanksgiving meals to 18 families providing foster care throughout Alachua County and other nearby Florida counties as well. Some families had up to eight family members. Elks members shopped and packaged the meal with the use of the lodge’s Elks National Foundation Beacon Grant. Pictured are Mary Griffis and Candace McCoy from One More Child, Dina Atalig from Gainesville Lodge, and Jenny Hewitt from One More Child with some of the packages awaiting arrival to families.
