COMMUNITY SERVICE Our mission is to strengthen community through financial protection and service. We take the financial protection part of that mission statement very seriously. Which is why we offer life insurance and annuity products designed to help families be prepared no matter what the future holds. But we take the community service part of that statement just as seriously. It is the principle upon which the organization was founded. While lodges are encouraged to serve their communities throughout the year, there are two days set aside each year for taking on community service projects in an organization-wide way. The first is Join Hands Day. It is held the first Saturday in May. This is a national day of volunteering sponsored by the American Fraternal Alliance that unites youth and adults in community service efforts in their communities. The second is Make a Difference Day. It is held the fourth Saturday in October. Created in 1992 by USA WEEKEND Magazine in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation, Make A Difference Day challenges all of us to spend one Saturday “making a difference” in our communities and in the lives of others by participating in a community service project. Hermann Sons Life is also known for its disaster relief response. In the past, money has been raised in the aftermath of hurricanes, floods and fires. The Home Office sets money aside each year for this specific purpose and lodges and individuals are asked to respond with donations of their own.
