Question

Did the freemasons help slaves escape from the south? How much money do masons donate to charity?

Answer 1

Yes, the Masons did help with that,  The Shriner's Hospitals are essentially Masonic.  To be a Shriner, you have to be a 32nd Degree Mason.  These hospitals help children from all over the world at little or no cost.

I, too, am a Freemason.

Answer 2

Yes.

In the USA, over $3 billion dollars per year, and that doesn't include the massive donations of time by Brothers to transport people to/from the hospitals, etc...
