Masonic Charity
Making a difference in Texas communities
Charity is one of the fundamental tenets of Freemasonry. Texas Masons have a long tradition of giving back to their communities, supporting those in need, and making a positive difference in the lives of others. From major institutions like the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children to local lodge community service projects, Masonic charity touches countless lives across the Lone Star State.
