Ironton Elks Lodge #177 Partners with City Mission to Help Homeless

Last week the Ironton Elks Lodge 177 donated $1,500 to the Ironton City Mission to assist them in help their mission of serving our community’s needy and homeless population.  

According to Rev. Jeffery Cremeans “we operate a full time Mission to help those who are in need in our community with the motto of “The Door of Hope to the Unfortunate.” Although we are helping people all year long we are best known for the free Thanksgiving Day dinner that is given to hundreds each year and for helping with Christmas food and toys. Every year hundreds of families are given food and over 1,000 children are given toys. This is made possible by the generosity of individuals, churches, schools, and civic groups like the Elks who share our vision of helping others.”

Elks Exalted Ruler Brad Washburn added “one Elks saying is “The Elks Care! The Elks Share” Today we were able to put this into practice. We appreciate their role in helping in our community. We too always look forward to giving back to our community.”
