Hope for the Army of Hope

To the Editor:

Recently, the Bayonne Elks Lodge 434 was mentioned having donated well over $3,000 to the State Army of Hope, and affiliated veterans’ charities. The Army of Hope is an Elk Committee that directly benefits severely injured and fallen soldiers and their families. I would like to thank the following corporate sponsorships: Gridiron Forwarding Company, Danny Boys Pub, RM Allstate, Judickie’s Bakery, Liberty Café, Hudson Lanes, Catch U Later Foundation, and BCB Bank. Many other donations were received privately from families of fallen or wounded soldiers, or just proud Americans. God Bless you all, our troops, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and God Bless America.
