GREENVILLE – Greenville Masonic Lodge No. 143 continues its mission to fight hunger and strengthen the community, marking another milestone in service. On September 23, 2026, Lodge members delivered 205 pounds of food to the Fish Food Pantry, bringing this year’s total to an impressive 3,855 pounds of food.
The Lodge emphasizes that this achievement belongs not only to its members, but to the people of Darke County. Neighbors, families, local partners, and generous donors have all played a vital role. Every can, every box, every act of kindness reflects the Masonic principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth, values that translate directly into support for families facing hardship.
With three more food drives scheduled before year’s end, the Lodge encourages the community to join the next event:
Saturday, October 10, 2026, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM, 200 Memorial Drive, Greenville, Ohio
The Lodge is collecting canned vegetables, fruits, soups, boxed meals, pasta, cereal, and peanut butter (especially needed), along with other non‑perishable items. All donations go directly to the Fish Food Pantry, which provides essential assistance to residents throughout Darke County.
Hunger remains one of the most pressing challenges in America, and local support continues to make a measurable difference.
A Message of Light
“A city set upon a hill cannot be hid. So too must the Lodge shine—lest the Light within grow dim. To remain viable, we must be visible: in our works, our words, and our witness.” — Worshipful Master Ron C. Nischwitz Sr.
Together, Greenville Masonic Lodge No. 143 and the people of Darke County demonstrate that generosity is more than a gesture, it is a force that builds a stronger, brighter community, one act of kindness at a time.
