The Elks National Foundation is a program that helps build stronger communities by helping youth develop lifelong skills, send students to college, meet the needs of today’s veterans, support charitable work and fund projects that improve the quality of life in local communities. The Mahanoy City Lodge was able to secure a total of $9,500 in grants through the program this year.
