East River Smokehouse in Navarre, Florida, and the Central Waterside Church combined to provide food via a drive-thru system at the Smokehouse's parking lot. During their third week of providing this service to people who were in need of food in mid-April, four members of Holley-Navarre Elks Lodge #2787 – Thomas "TJ" Carey, Exalted Ruler; Ernest "Skip" DalleMolle, Leading Knight; Stephen Hogan, Lecturing Knight; and Charles Mussari, former lodge officer – volunteered their time to assist in the sorting and delivering food and directing and speaking with those seeking food as they awaited their turn. Two lines of cars five deep went through this line for over 2 1/2 hours. Photos are by Skip DalleMolle.
