💜💛 THANK YOU! 💛💜

What an incredible day at the Gardner Elks #1426 Kids Safety Day!

Thanks to funding provided through the Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant, we were able to bring this free community event to local families and make a positive impact on the safety and well-being of our children.

We were thrilled to welcome over 130 community members throughout the day and are especially grateful to the 30 Gardner Elks members who volunteered their time to make this event such a success. Your dedication truly embodies the spirit of Elkdom and community service.

A special thank you to our community partners who helped make the day possible:

🚔 Gardner Police Department

🚒 Gardner Fire Department

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 CSO Family Resource Center

📞 Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line

🦁 Leo Club

🧸 CAC

🔨 The Masons

Because of their support, families enjoyed Child ID Kits, fingerprinting, bicycle safety education, Narcan education and overdose prevention resources, safety information from local providers, and much more

We were also excited to give away lots of bicycles and bicycle helmets, helping local children stay active and safe this summer!

This event showcased what can happen when community organizations come together for a common purpose: keeping our children safe while providing a fun and memorable day for local families.

See you next year! 🎉
