Over the years, the Lodge has supported the following organizations:

The Lodge has been generous when natual disasters strike by supporting recovery
efforts for Hurricane Katrina and the devastating tsumani which struck Indonesia.
We currently raises funds by selling the Entertainment Book and the Our Town and Around Book.
Funds from these sales go totally to the charity we support for the year. All our efforts are voluntary and unpaid.
In the past 20 years, Owatonna has raised and given away over $150,000.00, a large sum for such a small Lodge.
The Hospice of the Western Reserve will be the charity for 2007, as announced by Chancellor Commander Bill Pintchuk
