Members of Oustomah Lodge No. 16, the Odd Fellows of Nevada City, gathered at the Night of Giving recently to present a $1,000 check to support Hospitality House, a local homeless program, whose work includes, but extends far beyond, providing a safe, supportive shelter and a path to housing.
This gift completes the lodge’s charitable giving cycle for 2019. The Odd Fellows’ Good Works Committee focused on hunger, homelessness, and children and elders at risk in the community. Besides Hospitality House, the committee directed donations to Sierra Roots, Nevada County Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, Kare Crisis Nursery, and more. Last year’s giving totaled $5,200.
