What We Stand For

Culture, Friendship & Community

The Morris County of the Order of Sons of Italy Lodge 2561 is an affiliated member of the Order of the Sons of Italy In America Association, the largest and longest established Italian-American organization in the United States.

Our Morris County Lodge was founded as a non-profit organization, which contributes thousands of dollars to worthwhile local charities and families.  Our lodge is proud to be able to serve a small portion of needs to our local communities.  Donations include, but are not limited to, The Parsippany Food Pantry, Lily’s Hope, The Interfaith Food Pantry, The Shelter for Battered Women, The Alzheimer’s Foundation, High School Scholarships, Veterans Organizations, Youth Consultation Service, Gift cards to families in need, The Valerie Fund, and many other causes.

Members of the Morris County Sons of Italy lodge meet once a month at a local restaurant, typically on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Meetings commence at 6:00 p.m. with members discussing monthly lodge business, fundraising, community charity events and needs in the Morris county area.
