The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center was contacted by the Worshipful Master of Heber Lodge #501 that they had a brother in need. Robert Schooley’s wife, Janet, was in rehab and when she came home, they needed a wheelchair ramp. Together through the resource center’s Emergency Assistance Program, the Lodge and Grand Lodge Charitable Fund were able to pay for the wheelchair ramp. Janet is now able to get in and out of their home safely. Both Janet and Robert are grateful for the help that they received from their Masonic family. The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center has helped many others throughout the state, using Emergency Assistance Program funds, providing rent assistance, utility assistance, food cards, gas cards, lift chairs, stair lifts, and more. If you are struggling and need short-term emergency assistance, or offsite assistance that can help pay for in-home private duty care, please contact your local community outreach coordinator.
