Illinois Spotlight Charities for 2025
OES Home at Macon Grounds Improvement Fund
Our Eastern Star Home at Macon is a beautiful facility that is the home to many members and non-members. We would like the entire facility to reflect that beauty.
There are always needs for upkeep and this fund will allow us to fund those needs without dipping into the Eastern Star Home Fund.
Honor Flight
This fund allows our Order to help area Honor Flights throughout Illinois to celebrate America's veterans by inviting them to share in a day of honor seeing all the memorials in Washington, D.C. at no cost to them.
Honor Flights in Illinois can be found in Quincy, Peoria, Rosemont, Davenport, IA, Springfield, Marion, and Fox River Grove.
