FROM the BRETHREN
Creating-A-Partnership Continuing to Assist Schools Across the State!
School Offical, Cindy Ward, Brother Loren Carriker, and Brother John Balman of Jackson Lodge No. 82 have teamed up with the Masonic Home of Missouri to help provide for children within their community who are in need. The Creating-A-Partnership program is for children infant - 12th grade. Jackson Lodge and the Masonic Home are helping to provide funding for items; which range from backpacks, pencils, hats, coats, clothing and even hygiene products. The list of needed items is compiled and given to the lodge; the lodge then provides funding for the items with additional matching funds available from the Masonic Home. Once all items are purchased, they are privately distributed to children who are in need. It is exciting to see what a difference these items make in the lives of the children receiving them. We thank Cindy Ward for her assistance in gathering the information necessary to fulfill these needs.
