Charity
Masons support many different national and community based charities, providing over $2 million in assistance each day. Many are familiar with the Shriner's Hospitals and the free services they provide to children. What many don't know is that all Shriners are Masons first.
Masonic Angel Fund
The Brothers of Bristol Lodge are please to
have a Chapter of the Masonic Angel Foundation. The Angel Fund provides
modest assistance to children in our community who do not fit the
criteria for other social service programs. We work with school
officials to identify children in need and respond within 24 hours. All
requests for assistance are anonymous - the Masons never know who the
child is and no "paperwork" is required. Such assistance might be:
- Eyeglasses & Repairs
- Clothing & Footwear
- Coats & hats
- Scholarships for after school and summer programs
- Field trip Fees
- School Supplies
- Minor Health and Dental Services
- Other appropriate needs
Donations:
Please contact us for more information or if you are a Professional
who would like to offer assistance by offering your services at a
discount. Leave a message and someone will get back to you quickly.

If you would like to donate to our Angel Fund, please make checks out to Bristol Masonic Angel Fund and mail them to P.O. Box 787, North Attleboro, MA 02761. Once received, we will send you a thank you letter which will show your donation amount and will serve as a receipt for tax purposes.
MYChip
The program provides tools to help law enforcement authorities find
and identify a lost or missing child. The Masons of Massachusetts,
partnering with the Massachusetts Crime Prevention Officers Association
and the Massachusetts Dental Association, donate MYCHIP resources to
make this service available to the public. None of the information
is copied and all the identifying materials are given to the child's
family.
