For the seventh year, Charity Lodge #18 Free and Accepted Masons of Jaffrey has continued its tradition of donating to the food pantries of Rindge and Jaffrey.
Each year, the lodge sells Christmas wreaths and the profits are split between the two food pantries. The donations are doubled by matching funds from the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire.
In March the Right Worshipful Earl Cole, Jr., secretary of Charity Lodge, presented checks for $300 each to Kathleen LaRou of the Jaffrey Food Pantry, and Kathy Isackson of the Rindge Food Pantry.
