Athens Elk's Lodge #973 donated over $2,000 dollars in backpacks and supplies for the Southeast Ohio Mentoring program. Elk members volunteered to pack over 60 backpacks for area grade and middle school kids in the community. A portion of the money to purchase the backpack items was made available through an Elks National Foundation Beacon Grant.
