Havre Elks Lodge No. 1201 presented the donation at a recent meeting of the lodge. Bjerga said that the Elks' donation would help to defray the approximate $20,000 cost of a planned for walk-in freezer at the food bank. Lodge Secretary Brandy Kurtz said the contribution was made possible through a grant from the Montana State Elks Association Community Improvement Grant program; that program is funded by voluntary donations from Havre Elks Lodge members and Elks across the State.
