The oldest labor of Freemasonry is the relief of distress. In Fayette County, that work has worn many forms.
For more than 30 years, Lafayette Lodge has invested in the future of local students through its scholarship program. Over that time, the lodge has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships, helping young men and women pursue higher education and achieve their goals.
Lafayette Lodge proudly supports local seniors through its partnership with Combined Community Action. Monday through Friday, the lodge serves as a hub for coordinating and distributing Meals on Wheels deliveries, helping ensure that homebound residents throughout our community receive nutritious meals and regular contact.
Encouraging a love of reading is one of our favorite community traditions. Through our Books for Bikes program, lodge members raise funds by hosting drive-through meal events. Each fall and spring, twelve bicycles are awarded to the most improved readers in grades 1 through 6, rewarding hard work, growth, and academic achievement.
