Members of the Richmond Elks Lodge No. 45 delivered Thanksgiving dinners to five Henrico fire stations last month. Lodge members took turkey, ham and sides to the stations and also delivered a turkey to the emergency room staff at a local hospital.

Today, its program support local veterans, children and teens (including scholarships for graduating high school seniors), local schools and other local charities (including in years past Safe Harbor, the Faison School for Autism, St. Joseph's Villa and others).

The lodge is led by President Brenda Holmes. New members are welcome; for details, call (804) 716-4378 or visit http://www.elks.org.
