Barre Elks Lodge #1535 presented a check for $250 to Our House to assist in their continued collaboration with agencies for the benefit of our community. Our House is the first Children’s Advocacy Center in Vermont and provides a safe, neutral site for law enforcement, Dept. of Children and Families, the Department of Corrections, Mental Health Professionals, victim advocacy groups and victims to gather. The funds were a portion of the Elks National Foundation Anniversary Grant awarded to Barre Lodge. For information on joining the Elks contact the Lodge at 479-9522.
