OES Charities
 

Charities:  Eastern Star Chapters donate funds to a wide variety of worthy charities. Some examples are: Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer Research Project, Arthritis Fund, Heart Fund, Knights Templar, Eye Foundation, Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, orphanages, veterans hospitals, and many other charities within the Grand Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.

Youth Projects: Eastern Star gives support to young people who are members of International Order for Rainbow for Girls, Job's Daughters, and the Order of DeMolay. These fine young people who are training themselves to be leaders are likely prospects to become valued Eastern Stars or Masons. The Order of the Eastern Star and the Masonic fraternity are highly rewarded by their support of and interest in these youth organizations.

ESTARL: ESTARL (Eastern Star Training Awards for Religious Leadership), is a scholarship fund for those who are going to school for the purpose of religious training. Each state administers their own ESTARL program. Those wishing to apply for an ESTARL Scholarship should contact the Grand Secretary.

Masonic Villages: Pennsylvania has four villages for its senior members. These villages provide caring communities where individuals, families, and children have the opportunity to enjoy a full and enriched life through the benevolence of Freemasonry. To learn more, click here.
