Lodge 7 members give it their all for charity and their community throughout the year. But with this being the time of year that we focus on giving, we focus on some of the outstanding contributions members make to those in need, from at-risk and homeless kids to families of fallen and catastrophically injured officers to Special Olympics to Vietnam Vets to Stomping Out Gangs & Drugs and so much more. This Spotlight on Giving pays tribute to the gifts members give to all those they protect and serve every day.
