Rainbow Chapter #276 supports several service projects in the community.

The Bikes for Books Project provides bicycles and helmets as grand prizes in the February reading program at local elementary schools.

Scholarships are awarded in May to graduating seniors in local high schools and to students that have completed one year of higher education and are continuing their education.

The Tools for Schools Project provides school supplies and monetary donations to local elementary schools to support math and reading programs.


The Union Gospel Mission-St. Paul is supported by two Chapter projects. The Sock It To Me Project provides new men’s socks collected throughout the year and distributed to those in need and the homeless in spring and fall. The Thanksgiving Meal Project provides food and grocery store gift cards for local families. A special blessing of the meals ceremony is held at a Chapter meeting before they are delivered.

The Tie One On Project provide fleece blankets tied by members for the Masonic Children’s Hospital.
