Members of the Portland Elks Lodge 188 recently held a School supply drive. The goal was to collect everyday items that teachers can use in their classroom, such as pencils, crayons, markers, tape, composition books, sticky notes, paper clips and more. In addition to the donations, the Portland Elks Lodge received a $4,000 grant from the Elks National Foundation that was used to purchase items that schools requested. The money was divided among three schools: the East End Community School, the Congin School in Westbrook, and Skillin School in South Portland.

The Portland Elks Lodge delivered more than $1,800 worth of supplies to the teachers at East End Community School School.
