WILTON – A Beacon Grant from the Elks National Foundation Community Investment Program provided $2,000 recently to purchase much-needed items for Shelters of Saratoga (SOS).
The Elks’ Leading Knight Gerry Conboy and Past Exalted Ruler Deborah McCabe donated Bed Bug mattress covers for 30 twin beds, bedding, underwear, socks, deodorant, disposable razors, shower gel, alcohol-free hand sanitizer, liquid hand-soap, shampoo and conditioner, along with two large storage bins to hold the items.
The donation was made on Tuesday, April 3, and SOS Associate Executive Director Cindy Harrington said she was enthusiastic to receive such help from the Elks.
