Charity & Community
Relief — caring for those in need — is one of the three great tenets of Freemasonry.
Texas Masons give millions of dollars and countless hours each year to causes that serve children, families, and communities — most of it given quietly, without recognition. The charities below are the statewide Masonic charities of Texas Freemasonry, supported through the Grand Lodge of Texas, A.F. & A.M., of which Temple Lodge No. 4 is a chartered member.
