Did you know? Over the years Modern Woodmen has helped communities across the country heal.

In 1909, we opened a tuberculosis sanatorium in Colorado, that served more than 12,000 members afflicted with the illness. During the polio epidemic in the 1940s and 50s, we created a polio benefit to help member families affected with the disease.

Did you know? This time of year is great for planting trees!

Planting before the first frost gives roots time to establish before spring. There are many ways to take care of the environment, from planting trees to raking leaves and picking up trash.
