Community Projects
All proceeds from the Great Blairsville Soup eR Chili Cook-Off are used to support Blairsville area community projects. The Blairsville Elks Lodge #406 used proceeds from past years to help build and maintain the Blairsville Community Garden and the Children's Garden. Proceeds from 2018 were used to leverage an Elks grant for the purchase of new basketball equipment for the Blairsville Community and Recreation Center.
Blairsville Community and Recreation Center
In 2018, proceeds were used to leverage a grant from the Elks National Foundation to help improve the Blairsville Recreation and Community Center.
Community Garden
In past years, proceeds were used to purchase top soil for the Community Garden, as well as, plants, lumber, trellis panels and more! The Blairsville Elks also maintain two beds at the community garden and donate their harvest to a local food pantry. Check out these pics and see how the Elks, the Borough of Blairsville, the Blairsville Community Development Authority, local scouts and many other community volunteers worked to transform a vacant space to benefit the community!
