CARTHAGE, Mo. —
Getting up at the break of dawn. Working all day. Lifting and moving tons of frozen produce. Getting nothing in return.
It was a good time according to David Jones.
Jones, the Worshipful Master of the Carthage Masonic Lodge, and a number of other area Masons enjoyed their laborious weekend because it was all for a good cause.
Eleven Masonic Lodges converged in Granby, Mo. to split up 45,000 pounds of frozen corn and broccoli that was donated by an anonymous national vendor — food they knew their communities could put to good use.
Jones said the members of the lodges came with trailers to load, and set to work helping one another. The food was divvied up based on town size and need.
