Every year members from the Orange Elks Lodge go to Mary’s Kitchen to cook a turkey dinner for the homeless and those in need.
This year was a little different, a storm dropped a record amount of rain amount. But that didn’t stop twelve members from the lodge, eight cooked 21 turkeys and four more members helped prepare all the fixins.
