About the Grange

The Grange community consists of 150,000 members in 1,700 local chapters across the nation that each serve as the center of rural life in their farming communities. Each local chapter offers a wide range of locally oriented programs and activities like potluck dinners, annual Grange fairs, and community service events.

This charitable work is often the focus at local Granges with members giving thousands of volunteer hours and raising millions of dollars for important causes. Through this outreach, Granges help improve the lives of their own members and of neighbors in their rural communities. Whether by helping a neighbor in need or by organizing a bake sale to raise money for a local school, Grange members will be there serving their communities.

The foundation of the organization is the Community Grange, which can be found in rural, suburban and urban communities. Faith, Hope, Charity, and Fidelity are the basic lessons of the Community Grange.

The Grange is for the whole family. With Junior Grange and Grange Youth, anyone over age four has a place in the Grange. These young members conduct their own meetings, learn about leadership and service, and participate in fun activities. The Grange is for everyone!
