undercover officer. He worked long hours assuming many roles that
very often placed him in personal danger. Working in cooperation
with State Police, FBI and DEA Task Forces. the group seized
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of narcotics, paraphernalia
and firearms resulting in the arrest and jailing of many high level
drug dealers.

Bridgeport Lodge Begins Impact Grant Project
On Sunday December 23rd the Bridgeport Lodge #36 served
it's first dinner for their "Serving those who Served" project.
Bridgeport Lodge #36 was awarded an Impact Grant of $9600 from the
Elks National Foundation to help them feed the homeless Veterans in
their Community. On December 23rd the Lodge prepared and
served dinners to 43 homeless Veterans
and also gave the Veterans gift bags containing toiletries and other
basic necessities for living.
The pictures in this article are from the day at the
"Homes for the Brave" facility. As you can see the members of
Bridgeport Lodge #36 and the Veterans had a fantastic time at the
dinner. "We were received with open arms and many 'Thank
You's' said Matthew Frankel, Impact Grant Program Manager.
He continued "though I must admit it seemed odd that these brave
Americans were thanking me, it did not feel right, it is us who
should be thanking them."
Bridgeport Lodge #36 is planning on brining dinner to the
"Homes for the Brave" facility once a month as well as bringing them
care packages and other items that they may need. In this first
endeavor they received donations of close to $500 in goods and cash
to support their efforts. It just goes to show that Elks Care,
Elks Share.

Please join us in congratulating the 25 Lodges that will receive an Impact Grant to address an unmet need in their community. The awards total $200,000, with Lodges receiving up to $10,000 each! Ranging from after-school programs to a dental clinic for the uninsured and from Meals on Wheels to a camp for disabled youths and adults, the programs are as different as the communities they will serve. Representing states from coast to coast, these grantees are sure to make a lasting impression on cities and towns across America. The Elks National Foundation truly is helping Lodges build stronger communities!
The Impact Grants are the newest addition to the Elks National Foundation’s Community Investments Program. Impact Grants are competitive grants designed to help Elks address an unmet need in their communities. Lodges were asked to identify a need and create a program that would allow them to aid their community in a visible and meaningful way. The response to the ENF’s request for applications was overwhelming, and we couldn’t be more excited about the programs that constitute the 2007-08 Impact Grant recipients!
