A pair of local charities received a boost recently from the Iola Masonic Lodge No. 38.
The Iola lodge donated $400 to the Wings of Warriors Cancer Foundation, which provides assistance in the form of gift cards to local cancer patients, and $200 to the Iola Community Pantry to help organizers there keep their shelves stocked.
The Iola Lodge has nearly 100 members and supports various community organizations and events, including contributing to the Iola Youth Recreation Department and Kansas PRIDE.
“Our lodge is committed to helping make men better men, both in their community and lodge. Our members are usually leaders in the community and volunteer their efforts to various lodge projects,” said Iola Lodge Secretary Curtis Utley.
