Lodge Awards and Letters of Appreciation

$10,000 Impact Award from ENF

On December 2, 2009. the Elks Nations Foundation awarded Staunton Lodge #351 a $10,000 Impact Grant to implement "Operation Get Bunked."

Impact Grants are large, competitive grants intended to help Lodges address unmet needs in communities where Elks live and work. Impact Grants give our Lodge the opportunity to conceptualize, develop and implement a new project or to strengthen an existing one.

"Operation Get Bunked" is a project which was created by the Community Activities Committee of Lodge #351. The project involves working with the Valley Mission to provide materials and labor for the construction and outfitting bunk beds with mattresses, pillows and bed clothes in order to improve the housing arrangements and increase capacity for those less fortunate (single people and families with children) who must use the Valley Mission as their temporary home.
