Lodge, charity team up to provide holiday cheer

The Elks Lodge donated its space on Main Street in Rock Hill last week to help the local Salvation Army collect and distribute Christmas gifts for needy children and the elderly.

The Salvation Army served 365 children and 245 seniors through its Angel Tree program for children and Silver Angels for senior citizens. The charity gave away toys, bicycles, clothing and personal items that were donated by the community.

The presents were distributed Dec. 15 and 16.
