Destin Lodge presented $2,000, the remainder of its Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant, to the Blue Door Homeless Ministry of Destin Aug. 24. The ministry was so grateful for this much-needed gift. They support those experiencing homelessness on a daily basis by providing showers, clothes, shoes, bag lunches and other services. This ministry also operates a food pantry that provides hot meals several times a week. This money will be used to keep the pantry stocked and to purchase necessary supplies such as personal care products.
