The wildfires that have spread throughout Northern and Southern California this year have been the most destructive in our state's history. They have caused billions of dollars in damage and displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
If you or a brother or sweetheart you know has been affected, the Masonic Homes can help. Please call Masonic Assistance at (888) 466-3642 for help accessing relief resources. If you call on behalf of another brother or widow, it is recommended that they are present for the call to expedite relief.
Available resources include:
Direct relief: Housing, food, clothing, and transportation
Counseling for grief and emotional distress
Relocation assistance
Referrals to organizations providing financial guidance, including assistance with mortgage payments and insurance matters
Information about and referrals to agencies providing local support
Even if your need is not included in the list above, assistance may be available. Please call Masonic Assistance to learn more about how our compassionate staff can support you and your loved ones.
Relief provided through the Masonic Homes of California is made possible by the generosity of brothers and friends statewide. CLICK HERE to make a gift to support the Masonic Homes’ mission of relief.
Note: If you are donating from out of state, ignore the drop-down menus asking for your lodge name, etc. When asked where to direct your donation, choose the 'Distressed Worthy Brother Relief Fund.'
At this time, the Grand Lodge has NOT asked the Masonic Service Association for an official Disaster Relief appeal on their behalf. The California Masonic Homes Foundation site is the only direct way to help Masons and their families affected by the fires.
