Chillicothe Elks Lodge #52 Helps Local Kids Get Back To School

Chillicothe Elks Lodge #52 purchased 192 backpacks and filled them with elementary school supplies to be distributed to needy children throughout Ross County.  This project was funded by an Elks National Foundation Beacon grant of $2,500.  Elk members distributed the backpacks the last week of July and the first week of August to insure the children had sufficient supplies to begin the school year.
