Although they are often confused, unlike Charity, Benevolence is a disposition to do good or to deliver acts of kindness.
Wide Community Support
We all have very differing circumstances and not all Masons are in a position to make financial donations, but benevolence comes in many other forms, which might include donating our time our skills or our advice.
As well as many charitable acts, Freemasons work in the community providing advice, care and assistance to improve the lot of those who might have been less fortunate than themselves.
