The Madera Elks Lodge #1918 made cash donations to four organizations last week.

The funds were distributed from Bingo Night charity proceeds, and were presented on the club’s Community Bingo night.

The $4,250 of funds were split four ways, and went to the Madera County Food Bank, Madera Rescue Mission, Garden of Innocence and CHEA Major Project, Purple Pig.
