Everything from ballfields for kids to helping homeless people. From children and adults with developmental disabilities to high school students looking to enhance their education. From those seeking to recover from drug addiction to military veterans and their families who just need a helping hand. Pretty much you name it and the Sons of Italy Lodge 146 in Lock Haven has probably helped the person or the cause.

How? Through its generous donations, thanks to lodge members and officers. The money donated by the lodge comes from its gambling revenue, as the organization contributes 60 percent of those funds as required by the state. This past week, the Sons donated yet another large sum of money by way of small and large contributions to multiple agencies and programs.
