14th Annual Masonic Fund Drive!
Winter can be especially challenging for families facing food insecurity. That’s why the Nelson Lodge No. 135 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, in partnership with the Galilee Chapter No. 53 of the Order of the Eastern Star, are once again stepping up to support the Buffalo Food Shelf with their 14th Annual Food Shelf Funding Drive!
Now through February 28, 2025, you have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of your neighbors right here in Buffalo. Since 2012, the generosity of our community has helped the Masons raise over $412,000 for the food shelf – let’s make this year even bigger!
Why Your Donation Matters:
Every dollar donated goes directly to the Buffalo Food Shelf, helping them provide essential food resources to individuals and families in need. By contributing, you’re not just filling empty stomachs; you’re offering hope and support to those facing difficult times. Imagine the impact we can make together!
How to Donate (It’s Easy!):
Making a donation is simple and secure:
- Make your check payable to: Nelson Masonic Lodge No. 135 or Galilee Chapter No. 53 (Important: Do not make the check payable to the food shelf directly.)

- Drop off or mail: You can drop off your donation at Old National Bank or mail it to: Old National BankAttn: Masons Food Shelf Drive910 Commercial DrBuffalo, MN 55313
100% of your donation will go directly to the Buffalo Food Shelf. The Masons will present the collected funds to the food shelf in March, allowing them to be included in the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign and maximize the impact of your generosity.
Tax-Deductible Donations:
Your donation may be tax-deductible! Please consult your tax advisor for personalized advice. Keep your canceled check as your initial donation receipt. A formal receipt will also be mailed to the address on your check for your records.
