The Bug-out Bag Program exists because Worshipful Brother Alex Sims saw a need in the Salem area Foster Care system of a need to provide basic hygine, sleepware and gifts for childern placed in a emergancy foster care home. The fraternity has a long history of stepping in to help families in such moments of crisis, and we created the Bug-out Bag Project as a modern extension of this relief – offering expertise and resources to guide families through sensitive situations.

Salem Lodge No. 4 A.F.& A.M. is seeking donations of new and unopened bottles of shampoo, soap, wash cloths, towels, small toys, and pajamas (boys & girls) .
