Each Elks year the Trustees of the Orange Elks Lodge make a budget for the coming year and a line item in that budget is Lodge Charities. This calendar year the budget was $23,500. Each month the trustees went over and approved requests to local charities and organizations.
Here are a few of the forty eight benefactors. The NTAF Southwest Spinal Cord in the name of Zack Collie, McPherson Magnet School to help improve its kindergarten playground, HomeAid whose mission is ending homelessness for children in Orange County, Maryā€™s Kitchen and Maryā€™s Purse that feeds and assists the local homeless, Threads of Love a sewing ministry that meets the needs of newborns and tiny premature infants (NICU), the Ronald McDonald House that helps children and supports their families, CHOC (NICU) which provides newborns needing critical care, most often premature babies suffering from respiratory and circulatory problems, the police dog fund for veterinary bills for retired police dogs that the lodge has purchased for Orange P D, the Eli House, the Orange H S Choir, Walk for Wishes whose Mission is to "Grant Wishes for Children with Life Threatening Medical Conditions to Enrich the Human Experience with Hope, Strength and Joy."
