Established in 1991, the Outreach Program is a financial assistance program that provides financial relief to eligible Missouri Master masons, their wives/widows and Missouri female members of the Order of the Eastern Star.
The Masonic Home of Missouri is able to help its elderly members who have outlived their resources in their homes, apartments, independent living facilities and assisted living facilities. Some applicants qualify for this long-term assistance each month, while others only need assistance with individual payments, such as medical bills, hearing aids or dental work.
The Outreach Program is also able to provide short-term assistance to its younger members. This short-term assistance may help members going through medical emergencies or during times of unemployment. The assistance is provided to help individuals while they are helping themselves out of difficult situations. As with all assistance, the Board of Directors considers each request on a case-by-case basis.
All inquiries are given prompt attention. Age & Length of Membership is reviewed on all applicants.
