We Believe In

Founded in the 1500, this Foundation connects you to hundreds of organizations as allies to end poverty in the lives of children and their families. Providing communities all over the world with the quality life they deserve.

Everything we do is designed to meet specific needs of the community and the individual families in need. Together, as one, we rise to protect the most vulnerable and provide for those in desperate needs of basic necessities.

This foundation has a vision of creating a better world – partnering with global and local organizations to widen our reach in releasing more families and communities from poverty.

Friendship

You gain a new family in the members of your Lodge and a vast network of Brothers and Sisters worldwide. By joining Odd Fellows with your friends it helps to give a deeper purpose and meaning to your friendship. We are a diverse organization and have members of all faiths, races, genders, occupations and abilities with over 600,000 members in over 10,000 Lodges in 30 countries.

Love

The historic command of the Odd Fellow is to “visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan.”

You get to take an active role in helping your community and the world be a better place. Local Lodges help out their communities in any way they choose and are unified together in larger projects.

Truth

Be a part of the HISTORY and the MYSTERY. As an Odd Fellow you get to be a member of one of the world’s oldest and largest fraternal Orders. Rituals, symbols, and degrees are designed to “elevate and improve the character of mankind.” By taking these lessons to heart you become a better person and in turn help to make the world around you a better place.
