Metro West – Fundraising Events

Kansas City Northland #2376 donates books.

Kansas City Northland Lodge 2376 delivered approximately 80 hardback books to the Kansas City Veterans Hospital.  A northland resident, who is not a member of the Elks, knew of the many charitable things that the Elks lodge 2376 does for the community and veterans, and donated the books to the lodge so that they could be distributed to veterans at the hospital.  This is just another example of the Elks Care, Elks Share attitude and energy that the members continue to do in the Northland, from support of veterans, scholarships for teenagers, hoop shoot, fishing derby and drug awareness for youth,  as well as support for our residents who need help with homelessness situations and food insecurity.
