Fall Festival Event

November 8th, 2010

Our recent Fall Festival was a great success! Thank you to everyone that pitched in and volunteered to help make this event successful, without all of you it couldn't have been done. The event made a net profit of just over $2000.00 which will be used for Lodge renovations. Check back soon on our Photo Gallery for pictures from the event.

By making a donation to E.F.E.L.T., you are helping feed a hungry child in Manatee County

We are trying to address feeding the homeless child portion within this defined population by providing meals, snacks, and hygiene products for these children for Saturdays and Sundays. The project will not only feed hungry children.

The School Board identifies these children, and the Elks provide the food to feed the children through a double-blind discreet process where we are unknowledgeable of the child's name or whereabouts. Food and snacks will be processed by the Elk volunteers, placed in back-packs and delivered to the Parent Involvement Family and Literacy Compliance Center on Friday for distribution. The School Board will also include donated physical and dental hygiene products, and literature for the parents on further assistance. Monday the back-packs are returned by the parent or guardian to the Compliance Center to be picked up, processed, re-filled and the process continues.

Food items will be non-perishable, recommended by the School Board Nutritionist, and purchased from "The Food Bank" operated by Meals on Wheels of Manatee County. Food stuffs will be stored and purchased from the Meals-on Wheels organization, picked-up by Elks, delivered and packed in a 2500 sq ft facility with shelving donated by Judy Witt of Wagner Reality.

The project will begin with a 200 child population which pales in comparison to the homeless child population, however the project is planned to become self-sufficient by the forth year, subsidized by local agencies, church groups, foundations. Donations and participation will be solicited from the four Elk Lodges in Manatee County, and local personal philanthropy.
