Welcome to Minnehaha Chapter No. 227: The Harmony chapter, with a little Sparkle.

Minnehaha Chapter No. 227, Order of the Eastern Star, Grand Chapter of New York is celebrating over 120 years of community and charitable works. Nicknamed the chapter of “Harmony and Sparkle” in 1901, Minnehaha continues live up to this ideal and the Eastern Star principles of Charity, Truth, and Loving Kindness. 

Through our continuous work in raising both funds and awareness for various Women and Children causes and organizations on the Chapter level, and our support of the efforts of our Grand Chapter in their philanthropic endeavors, the members of Minnehaha Chapter No. 227 ensure we embrace the moral principles that are taught the moment we joined- charity begins at home and always assist with loving kindness.

We are seen as the "little Chapter among the giants".  As the only Order of the Eastern Star Chapter located in the middle of the Beautiful Bronx Masonic District, our brothers go above and beyond to ensure we always have the support we need to carry out both our mission and our Chapter‘s vision.

Whether it's working with nonprofits such as Project Linus, hosting events to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research, or collecting items for Veterans and Children organizations our members come together with the hope that we bring comfort and support to those in need.
