As we fall into the latter part of the year and winter approaches, we reflect on the past year. For some, it was a year of trials and tribulations. From hurricanes in Florida to the train derailment in East Palestine and more, many have had hardships and suffered losses. The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center offers an emergency assistance program that can help with needs related to aging, health,
or safety.
One such example was when Ohio Mason William French reached out to The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center in need of financial help after a hurricane hit near his home in Florida. A Community Outreach Coordinator assisted the couple with their request. After contacting numerous disaster relief agencies, it was determined that there was no funding available for the needs they had. The couple continued to work with their Community Outreach Coordinator for support because their refrigerator, which had been damaged in hurricane related flooding, was slowly starting to go out. They also had numerous home repairs that they needed assistance with. Through collaboration, The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center worked to get the couple approved to receive emergency
financial assistance.
William and his wife Karen reported that they are very pleased with the assistance provided and thanked The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center and their Community Outreach Coordinator for all the work put into helping them. They shared, “[we’re] sending a huge thank you to The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center. The fridge is wonderful and so very appreciated. Special thanks to Trinity for all you did to make this possible.”
