The Independent Order of Oddfellows was founded in 1819 by founder Thomas Wildey and four men that together thought they could make a difference. Since 1819 Oddfellowship has spread to 29 countries with over 250,000 dedicated members worldwide. The members all have the same goals; visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead, and educate the orphans.
The Order at work:
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
United nations Pilgrimage for Youth
Annually sponsor a float in the Rose Parade
to mention just a few...
