The Marquette Elks Lodge 405 recently donated more than $2,000 of items to the Marquette County Foster Care Program. The Foster Care Program serves children and families in the Marquette County area. For those who have an interest in becoming a foster parent, the need is great and every child can use another person to love them. Contact Katie Kubont or Courtney Velasquez to discuss the program and how you can help serve children in Marquette County: kubontk@michigan.gov.
