The food was collected as part of a challenge between the Moosomin Elks Club and the Elk- horn Elks Club. Food donations were accept- ed at LH Bradey and Sons, McKay Agencies, Sharpe’s Soil Services and Borderland Co-op. Cash was also donated to the Elks, who will be using it to purchase 180 pounds of turkey for the food bank. Shown here are Moosomin Elks Chris David- son, left, and Ron Potter with the food that was donated.
