Chisago Lakes Masons (Hiram Lodge 287) is excited to launch its 14th year of the “Double Your Donation” February fund drive, benefitting Family Pathways Chisago Lakes Area Food Shelf.  The “Double Your Donation” fundraiser allows financial donations to be matched up to $5,000 by Minnesota Masonic Charities.  To qualify for the match, checks must be made out to the Hiram Lodge.

 Family Pathways Chisago Lakes Area Food Shelf is a beacon of hope for neighbors who are residing in Chisago City, Lindstrom, Center City, Shafer, Taylor Falls and surrounding townships.  The organization provides a monthly food shop to those struggling to make ends meet, with families encouraged to return weekly to choose fresh produce and dairy.

Family Pathways' Backpack Food for Kids program maintains a strong partnership with local schools and provides consistent nourishment to school-age children. Additionally, the Mobile Food Pantry and the Doorstep Delivery programs deliver groceries to senior neighbors, providing not only food but companionship as well.

To support the Chisago Lakes Masons' efforts, please make checks payable to Hiram Lodge 287, with the memo marked - Family Pathways CLAFS (Chisago Lakes Area Food Shelf). Mail checks directly to Hiram Lodge 287, PO Box 681, Lindstrom, MN 55045, or drop them off at the Chisago Lakes Food Shelf at 10586 Liberty Lane in Chisago City.
