Salem Elks #305 Supports Local Foundation

Salem Elks Lodge #305 presented a $1,000 check, through the Salem Community Foundation, to The Way Station. Receiving the donation is Sherry Bendetta the Finance Administrator.

The funds will help with their Emergency Kit Program. 

The kits contain many household and kitchen items that are gently used and donated. 

The Executive Director, Chaney Nexbeth, states that currently they have the capacity to support those who are referred by the Salvation Army and other area agencies. 

But in order to support an influx of potential Ukrainian refugees, they really do need financial assistance to ensure no one is ever turned away. With this monetary donation; the Way Station will be able to purchase some of the larger items, like a microwave or electric skillet.
