Gallipolis Elks Help Stock Local Food Pantry

The demand for food supplies from the Gallipolis area food banks increased significantly during the government shutdown. This was particularly true for the Courtside Ministries. Their mission is to provide food staples for families to take home along with providing a hot meal on an as needed basis. Additionally, they have a hot buffet available on Thursdays. Consequently, supplies were getting low and the Gallipolis Elks donated $1000 to help them replenish their stock.
