James J.
Davis and the Supreme Council had a vision in 1911 that the time was
now to plan for the long-term care
of the
fraternity’s children in need by establishing the “Moose Institute”,
with the name being changed later to Mooseheart. Today we can
see our positive impact on the precious young ones that are entrusted
to our care and recognize the time is now to secure and protect future
generations of children in need. As we approach the 100th
anniversary of a place simply known as “home” by more than 12,000
children, the time is now to stand together and
do what
is right, do what is noble and do what takes sacrifice. To
accomplish the work that is before us, to build our fraternity within
your community, to provide rest for our seniors at Moosehaven and to
protect the innocence of childhood at Mooseheart. Together we
have, together we are and together we will do the impossible, because
THE TIME
IS NOW. God Bless Mooseheart!

The
Loyal
Order of
Moose is a fraternal and
service organization founded in 1888, combining nearly 800,000 men in
approximately 1,800 Lodges of the Loyal Order of Moose and more than 400,000
members in roughly 1,600 Chapters of the Women of the Moose, in 49 states and
four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain and Bermuda.
The men
and women of the Moose support the operation of Mooseheart Child City & School,
a 1,000-acre community for children and teens in need, located 40 miles west of
Chicago; and Moosehaven, a 72-acre retirement community for its members near
Jacksonville, FL. Additionally, Moose Lodges conduct between $70 million
and $100 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations,
volunteer hours worked, and miles driven) annually. |
The Virginia Moose Association became the 1st State
Association, sanctioned by the Supreme Lodge in 1936.
We are comprised of 94 lodges, and 84 Women of the Moose Chapters. It is because of our wonderful membership that we are what we have become today. On behalf of all our membership and the
Executive Board, we wish to welcome you to our fine State and hope you enjoy your visit and the fine hospitality.
