Thanksgiving Basket Packing

Elks Lodge 

3400 Nevada, Colorado Springs 

Thanksgiving Baskets are back this year! As you know, our Elks 309 Lodge creates baskets for families in need, each and everything Thanksgiving.
Last year we were able to provide over 300 people with Thanksgiving meals.

Don’t forget to bring down a little donation when you head to the lodge!

Below is a list of items we will need to fill up those baskets. Please drop items off by Tuesday, November 14th, so we know what all we need to purchase. If you can’t make it by the store monetary donations are accepted. Just leave the cash or check at the bar and make sure you let the bartender know it is for Thanksgiving Baskets. Also, if you know of a family that could benefit from receiving a Basket, please make sure you get them on the list at the Bar. 

Thanks in advance for all your help!
