Our Charities
Our Masons support many charities individually but collectively we support our main NC Masonic Charities:
Masonic Home for Children at Oxford
MHCO exists for one purpose — to help children who need a stable, caring and loving home. We do not replace a family — we provide. We teach, guide, nurture, and share, focusing on life both at and after MHCO, so we can help a child determine his or her own path for the future.
Whitestone A Masonic and Eastern Star Community
WhiteStone is a senior living community in Greensboro, North Carolina. More specifically, we’re a Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community. We offer an independent lifestyle along with a full continuum of care.
North Carolina Masonic Foundation
For more than 90 years, brothers with a gift for finance have grown and nurtured that original fund into a $80 million foundation that helps fund operations at the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford and WhiteStone: A Masonic and Eastern Star Community in Greensboro.
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that traces its origins back to the late 16th or early 17th century. It is often described as a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. Freemasonry places a strong emphasis on moral and ethical teachings, self-improvement, and brotherhood. Its teachings are conveyed through a series of ceremonies and rituals, often involving symbolic gestures and allegorical stories. These rituals are meant to encourage self-reflection, personal development, and a sense of community among Freemasons. Freemasonry is organized into independent lodges that are typically governed by a Grand Lodge at the regional or national level. Lodges provide a social environment for members to interact, discuss philosophical ideas, and engage in charitable activities. Freemasonry is not a religion, although it requires its members to believe in a higher power, often referred to as the Great Architect of the Universe.
