I'm a member of…

I'm passionate about…

helping others grow!

Community impact

Community impact

How we make a difference

We feel it’s important to support the communities we serve because…

we are part of that community. It's our way of giving back and meeting new people!

We feel strongly about supporting our communities at a local level. One way we're able to make a positive impact is through Modern Woodmen activities and programs. We especially enjoy:

working with members of the community and identifying a need, then working together using Modern Woodmen's programs to fulfill that need.

Our philosophy on volunteering is…

best summarized in Modern Woodmen's creed: "There is a destiny that makes us brothers; none goes his way alone; all that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own."

We’re most proud of…

providing over $2 million in fraternal contributions to our South Dakota communities in 2015!

Current insights

Thanksgiving is about appreciating the people around you and being grateful for the things you have. Here are four ways you can help spread cheerful vibes to our community. 1. Deliver meals to seniors to bring holiday cheer. 2. Write thank-you notes for veterans, health-care workers or teachers. 3. Support a family in need by sponsoring a Thanksgiving meal. 4. Create care packages for homeless shelters or deployed troops. Members, did you know you can apply for a Do-Good Grant®️ to create one of these projects?
