Steve Haines, Leader of Spithead Freemasons Lodge, based in Seaview, has chosen the foodbank as the charity for his year in office.
Steve has used the proceeds of raffles and bottle draws held at the Masonic Meetings to purchase items the foodbank can distribute.
WM Steve Haines delivered 616 bottles of Washing Up Liquid to the Foodbank.
During his time at the helm so far he has donated 1,425 toilet rolls and 740 bars of soap to the charity.
He said:
"Giving money to the charity is all well and good, but to give something as tangible and useful as we are doing is much more helpful.
"This shows Masons are here to serve our communities as well as to promote the values that Masonary is founded upon."
