Philanthropy

Members of Chapter 20032 in Rock Island, Illinois, have answered the call for help during the current pandemic by sewing more than 500 face masks for their community.

Rock Island is a city in Illinois, United States, and is the home of Chapter 20029 members who host many activities in their local community.

Many members are overcoming obstacles and finding ways to continue to live the Royal Neighbors mission from home. One example of persistence and optimism can be found in our members Kadi and Graci Tubbs.

Despite the pandemic, the women of Chapter 1685 have been busy in Beetown, Wisconsin, working to maintain a chapter tradition close to their heart and vital to their community – holding blood drives.

Royal Neighbors members have exemplified resilience in times of uncertainty for 125 years. Chapter 2317 of Idaho, founded nearly 120 years ago, is no exception.

Founded the same year as Royal Neighbors, Chapter 146 in Jerseyville, Ill., has been positively impacting its community for 125 years through volunteerism.

With more than 200 chapters across the country, Royal Neighbors members log more than 23,000 volunteer hours every month.

Royal Neighbors and our members have been challenged by various natural disasters and pandemics in our 125-year history – and we have always remained vigilant in our founding principles to help our neighbors.

Peggie Sherry, founder of Faces of Courage, and her team of more than 1,600 volunteers have served more than 11,000 cancer patients and their families to date – and no one has ever been charged.
