7th Annual Toy Drive
Hosted by the Victory Mason's Lodge (Freeport, IL)
On December 14, 2024 our local Inspired Victory Masons Lodge, in partnership with Chicago's Celetial Grand Lodge hosted their 7th Annual Toy Drive at the Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church
Christmas came early this year for Angel and Romeo.
Celebrating the perfect toy truck with a "high five".
Mayoral candidate, Joshua T. Atkinson finds a toy he likes too while talking with kids at the Toy Drive event, which the Masons have been doing for 7 years to make the holidays a little brighter for families in Freeport.
The Masons bring their members together to help kids receive their toys. In the center are Grand Master Willie Black from the Chicago Lodge and Jerry Harris to his left from the Freeport Lodge.
Catrell Graham, of Anchor Harvey and Mary Lark line up toys for the children. Catrell said Toys were also donated by local businesses including Loescher heating and air conditioning, and Reed’s Auto Repair.
This little guy is excited to get home to play with his new toy cars.
The perfect gift for the little girl that loves cars and the color pink.
Everybody love Play-Doh
This year, PAW Patrol was a big hit!
Windy Pearson can't wait to join this young lady for a SPA Day.
Joshua T. Atkinson spent much of the day meeting with community leaders, discussing ways our local government can encourage and support our dedicated organizations and events like these.
