A lodge built on the principle that no one walks alone.
“A burden heavy to one is borne lightly by many.”
Lodge 318 has been part of the Huntington and Greenlawn community for generations. We are a chapter of the Loyal Order of Moose, one of the oldest fraternal and service organizations in North America, and we are guided by a simple idea: members care for one another, for their families, and for the people around them.
One of the oldest fraternal orders in North America.
The Loyal Order of Moose was founded in 1888 by Dr. Henry Wilson, with the first Lodge organized in Louisville, Kentucky. It has grown into a fraternal and service organization with more than one million members across over 1,500 communities in all fifty states, four Canadian provinces, Great Britain, and Bermuda.
Our purpose has stayed the same since the start. Members care for one another, for their families, and for the broader community. We do this through fellowship, through service, and through the two institutions that define the order more than any other.
Across the order, members contribute roughly $75 to $100 million in community service every year, measured in donations, volunteer hours, and miles driven on behalf of others.
A 1,000-acre campus 40 miles west of Chicago.
Mooseheart is the residential childcare facility of the Loyal Order of Moose. For more than a century it has provided a home, an education, and a future for children who have lost a parent, or who have nowhere else to turn.
Children live in family-style homes with full-time house parents. They attend school on campus from infancy through high school graduation. Every cent that supports Mooseheart comes from members and lodges like ours.
A 70-acre retirement community near Jacksonville.
Moosehaven is the retirement community of the Loyal Order of Moose, where senior members and their spouses can live with dignity, friendship, and care. It is one of the most respected continuing care campuses in the country.
Independent cottages, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all sit on a single waterfront campus, so members can age with friends, surrounded by the organization they have given to all their lives.
A small plush moose, a calm hand in a hard moment.
The Tommy Moose program gives plush dolls to law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency workers. They use them to comfort children who are caught up in a traumatic situation. It is one of the simplest and best things the order does.

The work of Lodge 318 lives on Pulaski Road.
Holiday giving, scholarships, and quiet support for families who need help year round, alongside our share of the order's national charitable work.
Our hall hosts weddings, christenings, birthdays, retirements, and celebrations of life for our neighbors. Full bar, kitchen, dance floor, and a stage for live bands or a DJ.
Tuesday swing dance, line dancing nights, themed dinners, live music, and member meetings. The kind of ordinary nights that turn acquaintances into the people you call first.
Elected by the membership, in service of the lodge.
Lodge 318 is led by a slate of officers, elected by the membership, who carry the day-to-day work of running the Lodge. Current officer names will be listed here once they confirm their preference for publication.
