Our Lodge holds two Veterans programs very near and dear to our hearts: Stand-Down and Veterans Legacy.
The purpose of a Stand Down is to reach out to local veterans and their families. The term Stand Down is a military one that is used when combat troops are pulled out of action and sent to an area of relative safety to get medical attention, clothing, and other supplies.
Veterans Legacy’s mission is to provide a safe place in a rural setting for veterans encountering homelessness, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse disorders to live and work as they begin the journey back to successfully reintegrate into the community.
Camp Alma will serve as the residential facility treatment site. Coordinating a variety of therapeutic interventions to best meet the needs of the individual is a hallmark of our program. Therapeutic horticulture will be a primary emphasis in tandem with core mental health, addiction and complimentary therapies.
We are a community supported non-profit dental clinic that provides dental services to non-insured or under-served children enrolled at South Lane, Creswell, and North Douglas school districts. We offer emergency, comprehensive, and preventative care at no charge to qualifying students.
It is our honor as a lodge to be able to assist children with their breakfast and lunch needs when school is not in session during the school year. We do this by purchasing items and donating them to the participating schools who them distribute each pack to the children.
The Dictionary Project was founded in 1995 by Mary French of Charleston, SC. It's primary focus is to promote literacy to children in third-grade as they transition from learning how to read to identify and use information. Over the course of the program nearly 15 million third-grade students have received dictionaries including about 2.5 million dictionaries donated in 2009.
