Valparaiso - In a heartwarming display of community collaboration and support, members of Porter Lodge 137 joined forces with the local chapter of Job's Daughters for a special corn sale event at the annual Porter Fair. This delightful initiative not only treated fair-goers to delicious roasted corn but also raised funds for meaningful charitable causes that both organizations hold close to their hearts.
On Monday, July 17th, 2023, our Lodge representatives made a generous contribution to the Hilltop Neighborhood House Pantry. The donation comprised a substantial assortment of food items, filling the bed of a pickup truck, along with two large bags filled with kids' toys that were collected during our Annual picnic over the past weekend.
