Our Charities
As Brother Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Charity lies at the very foundation of our fraternity, and giving back to the community is of utmost importance to the brethren of Oriental Lodge.

“Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason.”
Brother Benjamin Franklin, Past Grand Master of Pennsylvania
