This summer our members voted to raise money and collect donations to give Thanksgiving dinner and nearly a week’s worth of groceries to six families for needy Middle School Families. We have done this as our “Day of Comfort” Charity each year for the last several years.
This year several local Masonic Lodges and Eastern Star Chapters donated money to help our members meet their goals. We also received several individual donations of food.
Our members spent last Wednesday, Nov. 15th finalizing our service project.
We started by divvying up the donated food and pre-purchased turkeys onto 6 tables
Then we went to Walmart and spent an additional $500 on food and laundry baskets for six families,
Our members picked a menu for Thanksgiving Dinner (Turkey and Ham, Green bean casserole ingredients, cranberry sauce, boxed mashed potatoes, stuffing, and a pie.)
They then added a 5 lb bag of potatoes, and bags of onions, apples, and oranges. Also peanut butter and jelly, cereal, more canned vegetables, macaroni and cheese, beans and rice.

A massive thank you how’s out to everyone who helped make this a success.
