Utilizing an Elks National Foundation (ENF) Spotlight Grant, Napoleon Elks Lodge #929 recently donated $2,000 to the St. Augustine Catholic Church St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry. The pantry serves an average 100 households per month throughout Henry County, and delivers to seniors at Riverview Terrace and some home-bound individuals.

The pantry participates in a United States Department of Agriculture assistance program, and in addition to distributing USDA food, it distributes food re-ceived through donations and food purchased with monetary donations.
