Sidney Elks Food Drive - 1961

Sidney Elks Food Drive
Sidney Record & Bainbridge News, December 27, 1961

100 Bushels of food were delivered to needy families of this area from the Sidney Elks Club.  Organizations throughout the community cooperated with the Elks to make possible twice as many food baskets as the Elks had set as their goal.  Contributions were received from people as far away as Florida, the Machinists' Union in Sidney donated gift stockings filled with toys and gifts for each family and hundreds of people, including many who were not Elks, contributed to this worthy cause.
