Our Elks organization has been continuing our Community Charitable Giving even throughout this pandemic. We are proud to have donated two Grants to worthy organizations in our community. The Terrebonne Churches United Food Bank received the Beacon Grant in the amount of $3500. The second organization, the Terrebonne Community Gardens received our Spotlight Grant in the amount of $2500. Through this partnership with the gardens we not only hope to gain new members but also to share in the Elks mantra of Charity and Brotherly Love. The garden located on our Coteau property hopes to produce 3000 pounds of produce for the food bank. The garden on the Coteau property will work to share this under- used facility with interactions with other giving organizations such as the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts and the Master Gardeners. We have many exciting plans for the future. The Houma Lodge should be very proud!
Thank you all and God Bless,
Julie Jeansonne
