Newly Established

HELPING HANDS FUND For Employee Assistance

A new Helping Hands Fund has been established in honor of our retiring Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Murphy. The work done, care given and services provided at Masonic Villages requires the tireless efforts of many employees. It is his wish that these employees receive the support they need and deserve for decades to come.

This fund will assist Masonic Villages’ employees across Pennsylvania who are experiencing personal emergencies/hardships and/or natural disasters. Through a myriad of resources, this fund will remove the barriers that interfere with an employee’s ability to be present at work. These barriers could include the loss of a loved one, financial pressures, health issues, ability to afford food, caregiving responsibilities and other unforeseen emergencies.

If you would like to help fulfill Joseph Murphy’s retirement wish, you can send a check (payable to "Masonic Charities" with "Helping Hands Fund" written in the memo space) to the Masonic Charities Office of Gift Planning in the Berks Building.

Or, visit MasonicVillages.org/ donate-now. For more information, or to make a gift using a credit card, please call ext. 33460.

In order for this fund to be immediately viable for employees in need, the goal is to raise $250,000 by the end of November 2019. A first major gift of $30,000 has been committed to establish this fund.

Freemasonry for Non-Masons The history and principles of the oldest and largest fraternity in the world will be explained by resident Ken Burd. Join him on Monday, Oct. 7, at 10:15 a.m., in the Keystone Room or Tues., Oct. 8, at 1:30 p.m., in the Lodge Multipurpose Room.
