Help Elks fill the truck
Everett Elks members plan to hold a fill-the-truck fundraiser as a part of Operation Desert Comfort from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the QFC at 2615 Broadway, Everett.
The goal is to fill a 1950s vintage truck with enough items for 100 boxes that will be sent to U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan. Lists of items will be available and include treats like hard candy, gum, sunflower seeds and fruit roll-ups. The boxes will be shipped in time for Christmas.
