On Monday, December 23, members of Cornelia Masonic Lodge #92 came together for a tradition deeply rooted in the spirit of giving. As they have done for 32 years, the Lodge delivered groceries to families in need, ensuring that even those facing hardships could enjoy a warm and comforting holiday meal.

The initiative, driven by the Lodge’s enduring commitment to community service, brightened the season for dozens of families. “This 32-year tradition will hopefully continue for many years to come,” said Lodge member Bradley Sullens, reflecting on the group’s collective effort and the impact it has had on the community over the decades.

The project was made possible through the generosity of local partners. Quality Foods played a significant role, providing the groceries needed to fill the bags. The Lodge also extended special thanks to one of their own, Senator Bo Hatchett, whose contributions added to the success of the event.
