MAC-V

Many of our brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers have bravely served in the Armed Forces, sacrificing for the freedoms we cherish today. As Masons and Stars, we believe in giving back to those who have given so much for us. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness reflect the very principles we hold dear — Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

Supporting & Uplifting Veterans

32% of veterans experiencing homelessness have the means to pay for a unit, but need a place to call home.

People of color are disproportionately represented among veterans experiencing homelessness.

Nearly one-quarter of veterans experiencing homelessness are 62 or older.

Minnesota Masonic Charities and lodges have given over $350,000 to organizations that serve veterans to date.

When I was introduced to MACV, I needed some help. About three hours later, they put us in a hotel and gave us money for food, and it was the first time in about three years I didn’t have to worry about anything.
