The Moose Lodge is all about local community service. Their roots can be traced to 1888 and the founder of the Moose, Dr. Henry Wilson, who successfully established the first Lodge in Louisville, Kentucky. In the early years, the Moose was to serve a modest goal of offering men an opportunity to gather socially, to care for one another's needs and celebrate life together.
-
Since those early years, the fraternal organization rapidly expanded to include valuable service to local communities, care for children and teens in need and care for senior members. With a combined membership of over 1,000,000 members, their presence is felt in over 1,500 communities across all 50 states and four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain and Bermuda.
-
The Moose organization contributes between $75 to $100 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations, volunteer hours worked and miles driven) annually. Local Lodges present a wide array of activities to participate in both as an individual and as a family. From holiday parties, dances, sports, themed dinners and live entertainment, the Moose has much to offer. The Moose is about celebrating life together, serving those in need within the local community.
