Every day, caring people and organizations partner with expert community-based providers, to deliver much-needed support and services. To that end, the Bellefonte Elks Lodge # 1094 recently donated $3,500 to the Pine Glen Fire Company, with which the Fire Company purchased numerous potentially life-saving tools and equipment. The grant was derived through the Bellefonte Elks Garver Fund, and will be used to provide fire and rescue services for residents of Burnside Township and surrounding communities.
