This year the Masonic Charities distributed over $450,000 to 29 organizations in the Delaware region including these children annual beneficiaries: Shrine Hospital for Children, Ronald McDonald Home and Al Dupont Hospital for Children. This year 48% of the donations went to Child / Youth Services with Medical Assistance (17%), Feeding the Needy (15%), Community Service (12%) and (6%) to Veterans Organizations.
