Lodge Buchan St Johns No 636 started a campaign called "Inter Province Community Care Initiative"
when the pandemic started in April 2020 to help community groups dealing with lockdown.
The Broxburn Lodge of Freemasons contribute a large part of the donations
in no small part of the effort from former Master Kevin Taggart.
Kevin runs a haulage company, and used his connections in the industry to save produce, food and clothing from going to landfill, diverting it to community groups in need.
Thank You for Supporting Smile throughout West Lothian
