As the holidays approach, this season will be unlike any other we have experienced. We’ve heard from clients and volunteers alike, that they are feeling isolated, anxious, and even lonely. Lodges and Chapters that have had holiday events in the past, may not be doing them this year. And this is especially difficult for those who have recently lost a loved one. Please take time to reach out to those on your Widows’ Lists with a phone call or a cheerful card, to let them know they are not alone. You will brighten their day, and yours also.
“To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.” -Abraham Lincoln
Any updated Widows Lists, or requests for Bereavement Packets, can be sent to DeAnna Kinney at dkinney@ohiomasonichome.org or you may call 740-262-1974.
Some of our MVP Committees will be dropping off holiday bags for their widows and elderly Lodge and chapter members. The Resource Center has items such as masks, mini hand sanitizers and tissues which can be included in those bags! You may contact your local Liaison for information on how to get those items. Resource Center brochures and magnets can also be included in your holiday deliveries.
