Wamponamon Lodge #437 recently donated canned goods and five holiday turkeys to the Sag Harbor Community Food Pantry, located at the Old Whalers’ Church in Sag Harbor. The effort was led by lodge brothers Woody Boley and Ray Pettigrew, working alongside Evie Rammuno, executive director of the pantry, and a dedicated team of volunteers who assisted in organizing the donations for delivery. Their combined efforts helped ensure that local families will have greater access to nutritious food during the holiday season.

The donated food was collected during the lodge’s Masonic Music Series events, including the popular Glam Jam show and Fall of Freedom rally, which encourage attendees to support community causes through food contributions.
