The Masonic Service Association of North America (MSA) is an organization committed to supporting Freemasonry and its members through various services. Established in 1919, MSA was originally formed to assist military servicemen during the aftermath of World War I, evolving to support Grand Lodges with aid and resources that they might not be able to provide individually. MSA's core initiatives include disaster relief and a Hospital Visitation Program, which focus on extending aid and support to those in need, particularly veterans. Over the years, the association has developed numerous educational materials to raise awareness about Freemasonry, distributing millions of publications to the public. Generated from the website
