The Elks Club of Coos Bay will hold its garage sale Friday and Saturday at its lodge, 265 Central Ave., Coos Bay. Proceeds will support the Share Bear Snack Pack Program.
A childhood hunger initiative of Oregon Coast Community Action, it serves more than 600 children at nine schools. They receive bags of child-friendly, nonperishable food items each Friday that require no cooking or preparation.
These packs are placed in the backpacks of children who are identified as at risk for returning to homes with little to no food over the weekend or during school breaks.
For details of the sale, contact Sharon Kolkhorst at 541-266-8300.
