We are a Benevolent Society, making monetary contributions to valuable organizations, as well as, collecting tangible donations for local social service agencies.  

We strive to honor our aged members with cards and phone calls to let them know we value them.  Aged members who reside in nursing/care facilities are given their memberships paid for by the Lodge.  The Old Age and Benefit Fund, managed by the Grand Lodge is made available to members with a monetary gift up to $3,000, depending on age and years of membership.

Through Christmas our benevolence was to Holy Trinity Church located at 17th & Walnut.  They recently opened up a free laundromat and shower facilities at their location for neighbors and friends who are homeless or have an unstable home situation.  Appointments are necessary.  Director, Ron King asked for  shampoo and body wash for their folks who will be using the showers.  We collected those items for several months.

January 31st, we  assembled dinner bags for the folks at St. Johns Lutheran Overflow shelter.  The bags consisted of a sandwich, fruit, cookies, and a drink.  They were put together as a joint effort with a Luther Memorial Church member, Pam Massiroff.

Our newest endeavor will be collecting items for Erie City Mission.  They are in need of men's underwear, tshirts and sweatpants, sizes xl-4xl.   ECM also would like to have some individual snack items to offer their residents.  These items will be collected from March through to our Banquet in May.
