Nothing we love more than good people doing good things 💛
The Odd Fellows teamed up with the Lighthouse and the Talbot House to help Standing Bear get set up for their event, and it was a joy to see so many nonprofits coming together to support one another. Proof that when community shows up, great things happen!

Have you ever thought about doing more for your community? Is helping others something important to you? Have you thought about becoming an Odd Fellow?

An Odd Fellow is a member of a large international fraternity known as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), which has roots dating back to 1730s London. They are a fraternal organization that focuses on personal development, moral values, and charitable work. Odd Fellows believe in the "universal brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God" and welcome members regardless of religion, race, or gender.

History: The first Odd Fellows lodge in the United States was established in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1819.

Beliefs: The organization is non-sectarian and non-partisan, and is open to people of all backgrounds. It is separate from other organizations like the Masons, though some similarities exist in their focus on personal growth and charity.

Activities: Odd Fellows are involved in various social and charitable activities.

Membership: In the US, membership requires being a resident in the lodge's area and having a sponsor.
