Brethren and friends:
We are collecting donations to buy turkeys for the less fortunate for Thanksgiving. The Court House Community United Methodist Church Food Bank, which we support, is requesting assistance to purchase gift cards from the Food Lion Grocery Store. These cards cannot be used for tobacco nor alcohol products. The church is putting together Thanksgiving Baskets, and will have a turkey-gift-card included. Each card will have a $20.00 cash value. We are confident Kempsville Lodge will rise to the challenge and provide enough cards to fill many of the baskets being provided by the Church. As always, we thank you in advance for supporting this very worthy cause. Bring your donation to the lodge for collection and delivery. Feeding the food challenged has been a five-year undertaking for us here at Kempsville. Each month we have risen to the challenge and made a significant difference. We thank all on behalf of the church. Each time we deliver our donations to the Food Pantry site, the workers are incredibly thankful for Kempsville Masonic Lodge and our generosity.

Brethren, a call was put out during the September stated for participants in the Salvation Army Angel Tree program. We have only received a few responses from Demolay and Job's Daughters.
Brother Keith and myself are sponsoring a child each. Even though we are a couple of months from Christmas, we need to get our numbers in now to pickup the bags and fill them for distribution to the children.
Please get your request in to Br Ingraham (k1ng137613@gmail.com) or myself (pblankenship1004@gmail.com) by Sunday 9/24.Brethren, a call was put out during the September stated for participants in the Salvation Army Angel Tree program.
