1. Volunteer

Volunteers have the unique opportunity to join us in our service to children.  Being a volunteer is an important way in which an individual can impact the lives of our children by being a positive role model as you work with children at the Homes or within the communities.

 You can offer your services as a tutor to our children by providing them with extra support, encouragement, and other educational opportunities leading to success and accomplishments  in their school commitments.

2. Charitable Giving

Charity is one of the basic principles of Freemasonry. Charity can be expressed in  many  different  ways  —  the  giving  of  yourself  by  bringing  a  smile to the

face of others or by offering support to a child so that he or she may become a productive member of society.  Over the years, the generosity of others has assisted our Homes to achieve success in fulfilling our Mission.

You can become a lasting part of history as we build the Walk of Hope, a cobblestone walkway leading around the Murphysboro Home's campus.  Each stone is cast with the donor's name or a memorial. For a $100.00 contribution to the Home, you can purchase a brick for our Walk of Hope. Your name or the name of whomever you choose will be permanently fired into the cobblestone.  Your gift will not only become a part of the physical structure of the facility, but will also become an enduring tribute to your generosity.

3. Planned Giving

The opportunities available for Planned Giving will support, sustain, and ensure that our Homes will continue to serve and meet the needs of the children.

There are several different types of Planned Giving, such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, trust, or memorial gifts.  Your thoughtfulness in implementing one or more types of Planned Giving ensures our ability to continue caring and nurturing these children within the State of Illinois.
