Volunteers from Sequim Elks Lodge 2642 delivered 40 Thanksgiving meals, in addition to socks and toiletries, to the Child Advocate Program for foster families to enjoy for Thanksgiving and holiday season.

The Elks were able to provide these meals and socks/toiletries through a $3,500 Beacon Grant received from the Elks National Foundation, along with generous donations from Sequim Elks and the help of Sequim Safeway.
