The Dalles Elks Lodge #303, recently and generously donated $10,746.93 to The Dalles Meals on Wheels program. The donation goes a long way to defraying the cost of the program that served some 50,000 meals in 2020 alone. Volunteers drive the meals to homebound seniors to ensure they get one hot nourishing meal per day.
