Masonic Foundation Distressed Worthy Brother Relief Fund	Many of our members find themselves out of work and unable to make ends meet, even for essentials, like rent, groceries, and medication. For a great many, those dollars will take time to arrive and there will still be a significant gap. Through its Masonic outreach programming, the Masonic Homes of California provides relief to Masonic brothers, widows and families in need during these and all difficult times. It is at times such as these that our fraternity is strongest. We have all taken an obligation to support one another, and our time to fulfill our oath, to best of our ability, is now. In sudden, unforeseeable emergencies such as this one, we can come together. The Distressed Worthy Brother Relief Fund was created by the Masonic Homes to provide critical relief to Masons and their families. Please give what you can to support our brothers in this time of need.	Distressed Worthy Brother Relief Fund Website (415) 776-7000
Masonic Foundation Literacy and Public Education	Public education is one of our fraternity’s most treasured causes – and it is one that we have championed for hundreds of years. We believe that in order for civil society to thrive, all children must have access to the free public education necessary to grow into conscientious productive citizens.

Masonic Foundation Masonic Youth Orders	The future of our fraternity and the values it promotes is bright – and nowhere is that light so vibrant as within the young people who are following in our footsteps. By supporting Masonic youth, we are passing our values and traditions on to tomorrow’s Masonic family.	Masonic Youth Orders Website (415) 776-7000
