WHAT DOES MASONRY DO FOR THE COMMUNITY

The FRATERNITY of Free and Accepted Masons is the oldest, largest, and most widely known fraternal organization in the world. Masonry was founded on the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth, and takes seriously its responsibility to help others. Symbolic Lodge Masonry in Ohio, as well as the related organizations, have adopted numerous charitable programs which they support strongly. In fact, the Masonic Fraternity in the United States DAILY contributes more than $2 million to charitable causes. OHIO MASONIC HOME The Ohio Masonic Homes family of services is dedicated to helping seniors through a wide range of options. From the retirement campuses located in three areas of the state to home-based services, their caring, knowledgeable staff is dedicated to serving you where you want to be. The retirement campuses Springfield Masonic Community in Springfield , Browning Masonic Community in Waterville near Toledo and Western Reserve Masonic Community in Medina near Cleveland are where you can forget about the worries of home ownership and enjoy what life offers. Or take care of your needs through their assisted living services, skilled nursing or rehabilitation services. If you prefer to stay independent in your own home, homebased services such as Cornerstone Helping Hands and Masonic Aging Services can make life easier or more comfortable through a variety of services. Find which service will best suit you or your loved ones needs. Call Corner Stone at 937-525-4951 or Masonic Aging Services at 877-881-1623 or visit their web sites at ohiomasonichome.org GRAND LODGE OF F&AM OF OHIO The Grand Lodge of Ohio offers annually two college scholarships in each of its 25 Masonic Districts. Ohio Masons have also become major supporters of the Ohio Special Olympics, contributing more than $100,00 every year. The Masonic Model Student Assistance Program is a gift from the Freemasons of Ohio to the schools in their communities. The program consists of a three-day intensive training seminar that enables core teams of faculty and staff members to effectively identify and refer at-risk youth. SHRINE MASONS Shriners Hospitals for Children is a network of pediatric specialty hospitals, founded by the Shrine, where children receive excellent medical care. There are 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children providing care for orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate. If the Children are covered by insurance, the shrine hospitals now collect those funds but they do NOT bill parents/guardians for care. To date the Shriners have spent over $3 Billion dollars on hospital operating costs. SCOTTISH RITE MASONS Helping children with speech and language disorders is a particular mission of Scottish Rite. Ohio Valleys have established Masonic Learning Centers for Children with Language and reading Disorders . In creating the 32 E Masonic Childrens Learning Center at the Dayton Masonic Temple, it has been their mission to provide professional treatment - free of charge - to children with dyslexia. There are now 50 active Dyslexia Centers in 13 States. All services are available regardless of race, creed, or Masonic relationship. The Scottish Rite is also one of the leaders in Schizophrenic research. OTHER MASONIC CHARITIES The Royal Arch Masons support Adopt America Network which finds homes for Special Needs Children; the Royal and Select Masons support programs to help juveniles with diabetes; the Knights Templar fund a philanthropic eye foundation; the Tall Cedars of Lebanon assists Muscular Dystrophy research; and the Grotto provides dental care for children with special needs.
