Do you shop at Kohl’s department store?  Kohl’s Cares (a subsidiary of Kohl’s department stores) is donating 10 Million dollars to our community schools. This donation is part of their community service program that gives back to the communities in which they are apart.

At Kohl's, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve, not just with money and resources but also with talent and time. Through our community giving and volunteer program, we support kids' health and education, environmental initiatives and women's health. We envision a future where kids are healthy, resources are plentiful and breast cancer is a thing of the past. Because the way we see it, giving back also means looking ahead.

Kohl’s is donating five hundred thousand dollars to twenty schools in the United States.  That is a huge amount of cash for the lucky schools.  This contest runs from July 7, 2010 to September 3, 2010.  We are asking all lodge members across the nation to vote for the "Mooseheart School (Kane) Mooseheart, IL".  This will help the Moose fraternity support the children of Mooseheart for many years.  Mooseheart is a very deserving school with lots to offer the children that attend classes.  If you are on Facebook please take a moment today and vote for Mooseheart!  Vote as many times as you can!  Many thanks to Kohl’s for their generous donations to our children’s futures!

Update April 21, 2010: We donated 130.15 lbs of food to Our Daily Bread today.

On November 19, 2009, Our Daily Bread celebrated 25 years of serving the Fairfax County area.  This is a great group that helps families and individuals in the Fairfax area to be come self-sufficient.  With out our help and others like us, Our Daily Bread would not be able to help so many families in need.

We chose Our Daily Bread for the good work they do each day.  Our Daily Bread has many outreach programs.  They even manage to make food deliveries to those in need during the week and on the weekends.  They are currently in need of certain items.  To see a list of most needed items please click here!

We recently made another donation of non-perishable food items.  On April 1, 2010, we donated 99.7 pounds of food worth $158.52 dollars. We want to thank our very generous members for their continued support of our food donation program.  We would also like to thank Wendy Barboza for her help in dropping off the food items.  Wendy your help is really appreciated!

Update April 21, 2010: We donated 98 articles of clothing to Western Fairfax Christian Ministries today.

Thank you for making our clothing donation drives such a success.  Our continued aid to other Fairfax City and Fairfax County community agencies is really appreciated.  This last quarter we donated clothing to two area non profits groups.  The generosity of our membership is amazing.  You are helping to clothe and feed area residents who would otherwise go without.  We are switching gears again this spring.   We ask that you start bringing in your gently used warm weather items for donation.

We are continuing to help "Yesterdays Rose" in Fairfax City and "Western Fairfax Christian Ministries" of Fairfax County with our clothing donations.  On March 24, 2010, we donated two hundred eighty items to the Western Fairfax Christian Ministries. Remember, for all clothing and food donations at the lodge, we still give Free Texas Hold'em tournament free chip cards.  The chip cards will get you extra chips during regular season Free Hold'em tournaments.

In talking with Yesterdays Rose this morning, they tell us they are in short supply of socks.  We don't usually ask our members to donate new items.  If you are so inclined please pick up a set at the store and bring it in to the lodge.  Your donation would be greatly appreciated.  We are just passing on their needs.  We are proud to help support them in their efforts.  Please continue to bring in your gently used items.  You can count on your items going to those in need.

Some times we forget to say one important thing, thank you for helping make our community a better place with your donations!
