At Advance Temple, our commitment to charity and relief is more than just words—it’s action. One of the most direct ways we serve our community is by hosting regular blood drives. Blood is a vital, irreplaceable resource that hospitals rely on every day, and by opening our doors, we help ensure that patients in need have access to this lifesaving gift.

We are thrilled to share the story of our beloved Advance Masonic Temple’s recent transformation, a project that has not only refreshed our building’s appearance but also strengthened our ties with the Astoria community.
