Winter coats donated through local Masonic lodge, state group

Posted

Cletus Rademacher, Worshipful Master of the Owensville Masonic Lodge, helps load out 197 winter coats purchased from Walmart on Monday as part of the lodge’s project with the Masonic Home of Missouri’s Creating-A-Partnership Program. Masonic Home provides matching funds to lodges and chapters to help children in need within their own communities, according to John Behrens, the local representative to the state group. Since the 2003-04 school year, the local Masons have funded $11,441 for 23 clothing and three food projects for Gasconade County R-2 School District students. The Masonic Home of Missouri has contributed $13,533 for a total of $24,998 to assist 1,536 children. Behrens offered “special thanks to Owensville Walmart and Walmart’s Christine Hotop for all the help on gathering the coats.”
