Chanute Elks 806 presented a $2,000 donation to St. Patrick’s Catholic Church food pantry this evening. Food pantries across the nation have experienced increased need due to the COVID-19 economic shutdown. Once again the Elks stepped up to meet this need in Chanute. Funds for the Lodge’s donation came from a grant application to the Elks National Foundation (ENF). ENF provides local Elks Lodges the ability to be a “Spotlight” in their community. Each year grants are awarded through ENF’s community investment program. Pictured (L-R) are Linda Springer, St. Pat’s food pantry volunteer; Frank Springer, Grand IG; Fr. Michael Linnebur, pastor at St. Pat’s; Zach Novotny, Exalted Ruler; and Barbara Novotny, Leading Knight.
