For over 75 years, members of the Edwin J. Kiest Masonic Lodge have given back to their community through fundraising and volunteering.

Community Outreach

Every year, members of our lodge gather toys donated from the Lakewood PetSmart and distribute them to Fire and Police Stations, schools, shelters, and hospitals. Our members regularly express the humility they feel in knowing that they have made a difference for a child that has faced disasters and circumstances out of their control.

Acts of Service

Our members strive to use their talents and skills as a means to give back to those in need. Charity work leads to hope and faith in mankind and a reassurance that Masonry spreads light.

Traveling Masons

One of the greatest benefits of being a Mason is having friends everywhere you go. Austin Moeller, Edwin J. Kiest’s Junior Deacon, traveled to Hillsboro Lodge #196 to visit Robert DeLuna, Past Master of Edwin J. Kiest and current Junior Warden of Hillsboro Lodge.
