T. C. Almore Lodge No. 242
T. C. Almore Lodge No. 242 is a Prince Hall Affiliated Masonic lodge, a subordinate lodge of the Most Worshipful Stringer Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., P.H.A., Jurisdiction of Mississippi. The lodge was founded on December 11, 1953, by Thomas Carl Almore. Since the lodge's inception, it has made strides to make good men better through, faith, hope, and charity. T. C. Almore #242 is seated in Jackson, MS within the 9th district, the largest district in the state of Mississippi. Our mission at Almore is to spread brotherly love through respect, love, and fellowship, giving relief to not just our fellow brethren but also our community by voluntary efforts and monetary value when we can. The Lodge conducts several fundraisers such as car washes and raffles. With these funds, we have been able to present annual scholarships, donate Thanksgiving dinners to T's Personal Care Home, and provide school supplies to Poindexter Elementary School students. T. C. Almore #242 is under the leadership of
Worshipful Master DeMarcus Tinsey, Senior Warden Anthony Veasey, and Junior Warden Justin Ellis.
