If one wants to know what the Grange is all about, it is probably
found in its many service projects.
Each Grange determines ways in which they can help, sometimes
with other organizations, to make this a better place to live
in.
In 2006 this Grange joined others to provide back-packs and small
toiletry kits for children that had to be placed temporarily in
a place other than thier birth homes. Often these children leave
with nothing that they can call thier own. The back packs provided
things that belonged now to the children and could travel with
them. Some times the children had no soap or a tooth brush or
comb, etc. The toiletry kits provided these essentials for them.
Such are examples of the many projects a local Grange gets involved
in. It begins, however, with a member in a local Grange getting
up and saying that we should do "this or that". Others
agree, it is voted on, and a local Grange project is started. |
