To Improve and Elevate the Character of Mankind…

In 18th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind. Those who belonged to such and organization were called “Odd Fellows.” Odd Fellows are also known as “The Three Link Fraternity” which stands for Friendship, Love, and Truth. Today, the Odd Fellows is a worldwide fraternal Order having over 10,000 lodges in 25 countries. We are actively involved in a variety of civic and philanthropic efforts on a local, national, and international level. Highlights of these include:
•The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs spend over $775 million in relief projects annually
•The IOOF Educational Foundation provides substanial loans and grants to students
•SOS Children’s Village provides a caring home for orphaned children in Cambodia
•Living Legacy focuses on planting trees and enhancing our environment
•The Arthritis Foundation
•Visual Research Foundation supports vision care and research through the Wilmer Eye Institute
•Pilgrimage for Youth

Odd Fellows Helping a Family in Need ❤️💙

One of the oldest and most important principles of our Independent Order of Odd Fellows is to care for the widow and the orphan, and to lend a helping hand to those facing difficult times.

When a family suddenly loses a father, the loss is immeasurable. The children are left facing a future nobody was prepared for, and the family can use all the support we can give.

Our brothers at Elgin Lodge are helping organize a fundraiser to support this family of one of their Past Grands during an incredibly difficult time. While this is a local effort, it represents something bigger than any one lodge. It reflects the values we share as Odd Fellows: Friendship, Love, and Truth.

We may belong to different lodges, but we are united by the same principles and the belief that when someone needs a helping hand, we should do what we can to provide it.

Please consider supporting this fundraiser and sharing it with others. Every contribution, every share, and every act of kindness can make a difference for these children and their family.

That is what being an Odd Fellow is all about — being there for one another when it matters most. ❤️
