Hackettstown Elks Lodge Support Homeless Veterans

On Saturday November 18th Hackettstown Elks Lodge #2331 and the ShopRite of Washington NJ united to support Homeless Veterans.

The Elks Lodge spearheaded the local charity event to meet and interact with local residents as they bagged groceries for donations to support those who served our country and are in need of assistance. Proceeds were generated to produce Crisis Kits that are personally delivered to local veterans that improve upon their quality of life while in vulnerable situations.

The Elks were joined by teams representing the Brass Castle Elementary School, Gibson’s Gym of Washington and The Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree Augustus J. Rampone Assembly.

Mark Weaver from Happy Chef Uniforms was proud to take part in the charity function by printing custom Hackettstown Elks T-shirts that were donated for the fundraiser.

Volunteer Steve Scism summed up the day appropriately adding “The Elks involvement in the community is wonderful to see. I am glad to be a part of this charitable event”.
