Central Crossing Lodge # 674 of Shell Knob recently donated $1000 to Shell Knob Alliance of Churches Food Pantry. Our Masons raised $500 which was then matched. The Missouri Masonic Home’s Partnership Program provided a grant which doubled the amount of the donation. This was facilitated by our Lodge’s Masonic Home representative, WB Subbe Bemis. Missouri Masonic Home has several programs to aid Masons, their widows & children. This particular program helps local lodges aid their communities.
Mr. Atkinson expressed his appreciation for the donation. He stated the money will be used in their Share Your Christmas annual program. Various church members volunteer to sponsor a family and provide Christmas gifts to needy families as the Food Pantry provides food for them.
