On Aug. 11, St. Petersburg Lodge donated 34 twin-size and 48 full-size top-rated, high-quality mattress covers to be distributed to veterans living in homes that are part of Heaven on Earth for Veterans (HOEV) run by co-founder Carol Barkalow, Lodge Esquire. HOEV provides high-quality, low-cost living space for veterans in need. The mattress covers will help keep the mattresses at the HOEV homes looking like new for years and will help protect the mattresses from issues such as bed bugs and bacteria. Dan Masi, Leading Knight, worked with Chris Renfrow, founder of Charity Works, who helped attain the total lower price of $2,612.16 from vendors for the mattress covers.
