Front Royal Elks Lodge #2382 is using the 2019-20 Beacon Grant of $2,500 to help assist the Phoenix Project while they serve victims of domestic violence in Front Royal/Warren County. They receive State grant money and can provide their services free of charge, however, there is much more needed that is not funded. Most of the victims leave their homes with only the clothes on their backs.

Lodge members were provided a list of the items that were needed and several members shopped, sorted and packed totes to deliver to the Phoenix Project; items such as formula, diapers, clothes, personal hygiene items, veggie cups and other non-perishable food items, bottled water and so much more. The Lodge is also providing a place for Phoenix Project to store items.

Melanie Stull, Administrative Assistant and Volunteer Coordinator, and Tammy Sharpe, Executive Director, helping bag items to give to the victims of domestic violence.

Totes are being filled!
