Attleboro Elks show support for Seekonk Food Pantry

The Attleboro Lodge of Elks has always been a beneficent presence in our community. Recently, members of the Elks visited the Doorways Food Pantry to present them with a $1,000.00 donation to help needy Seekonk residents. The funding source was the Elks National Foundation, which annually distributes thousands of grants to non-profits to address food insecurity, heating costs and housing issues throughout the country. Doorways was one of a half-dozen local organizations nominated by the Attleboro Lodge to receive a grant from the national foundation.

In addition to the national grants, the Attleboro Lodge has also made several generous donations to Doorways with funds that derive from their own local fundraising efforts. Their gifts support many local residents in need of a helping hand, and the food thus provided will grace the dinner tables of homes throughout our community. More than seventy local families rely on Doorways on a regular basis, and Doorways, in turn, relies on people like the Elks. They really are some of the Best People On Earth.
