You may have heard the saying, “A burden heavy to one is borne lightly by many.” This is at the core of the Moose organization and what makes us unique in our Lodges, local communities and charitable “cities” that we support. 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. Lodge membership is now open to both men and women.Since those early years, our fraternal organization rapidly expanded to include valuable service to our communities, care for children and teens in need at Mooseheart Child City & School , a 1,000-acre campus, located 40 miles west of Chicago, and care for our senior members at Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community near Jacksonville, Florida.

With an international membership of over 905,000 members, our presence is felt in over 1,500 communities across all 50 states and four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain.

Membership can mean different things to different people. You are the one determining what you want to get out of the organization, and what you want to give back.  The Moose is about celebrating life together, serving those in need within our local community, supporting our children at Mooseheart and standing by our senior members at Moosehaven.
