The Masonic Service Association of North America is an organization dedicated to serving Freemasonry, the country, and the world. Initially formed to provide aid to U.S. military servicemen at the end of World War I, MSA was established in 1919 when Grand Masters gathered to create a unified agency to work with the government. One of MSA's key services is disaster relief, having issued its first appeal in 1923 and since then becoming a reputable Masonic group trusted by all Grand Lodges in North America to provide aid globally. Additionally, MSA's Hospital Visitation Program supports veterans with representatives in VA Medical Centers across the U.S. MSA also focuses on education and information dissemination about Freemasonry through its Masonic Information Center, distributing publications like pamphlets and brochures to over 3 million individuals in the last two decades. By providing services that Grand Lodges may find challenging to deliver independently, MSA continues to uphold its mission of serving the Masonic community. Generated from the website content
