On Nov. 13, East Polk Elks Lodge #2882 used their Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant to provide a year’s worth of personal and household items to 10 veterans who were previously homeless but now have been set up with an apartment or home. The Elks purchased and packaged toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, bar soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues and dish soap.
