What an amazing day to give back to the community by helping make beds at Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Their motto is "No Kid Sleeps On The Floor In our Town" and the Camillus Elks helped make that happen. Thanks so much to all our volunteers who came out and helped build, and for all those that contributed to the bedding drive for the beds. We donated about $1700 worth of bedding. What an amazing accomplishment that is!!!
