Saturday, November 28, 2020: Lodge Clean Up & Salvation Army Angel Tree Toy Donation

Gulf Beach Lodge took part in the Salvation Army Angel Tree program for the 12th consecutive year at Tyrone Mall. 

Thank you to all the Brothers, friends, and family that helped or stopped by! We had nineteen Brothers and family assisting this year.

The Angel Tree program provides holiday gifts for needy children in the community. It was a very moving experience to see how the community comes together to bring joy to children’s hearts this time of year, even during a pandemic.

Gulf Beach Lodge appreciates the Salvation Army for allowing them to take part in this worthy program and encourages other organizations and individuals to take part in this event in the future.

Saturday, November 21, 2020: Holiday Basket Delivery

After departing the Lodge at 9:00 AM on November 21st, Gulf Beach Lodge members and family carried on our tradition of delivering Thanksgiving meals to twelve less fortunate families and military veterans within Pinellas County.

Thank you to all who have helped support this great cause over the years, and we hope to see you at our next basket delivery in December!
