Helping to make Christmas season a little merrier and brighter for many people in Middlesboro who need a helping hand, Middlesboro Elks Lodge #119 delivered 40 food boxes to the Cooperative Christian Ministry (CCM), at a cost of nearly $2,000, which were then distributed by CCM to low-income families and individuals just before Christmas. In addition to the food boxes, the Elks made a financial donation to CCM for their food pantry.
