Basic Needs Assistance

Masonic Relief

Masonic Relief is intended to help an individual or family when a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action arises. With these events, little to no known community resources are available to meet the need or the urgency of the situation.
Masons in good standing, Masonic widows/surviving spouses, Masonic family members, members of Appendant or Concordant Bodies, and community members may be eligible for limited financial assistance, depending on the circumstances of the situation.
Please note that detailed financial information is required as part of the application process. Applicants should not expect to receive direct cash payment or other financial assistance; any funds provided are issued directly to the vendor on behalf of the client.
