The Loyal Order of Moose is a fraternal and service organization founded in 1888. It is nonsectarian and nonpolitical. There are roughly 2,000 lodges in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Great Britain, with a total membership of nearly one million.
Along with other units of Moose International, the Loyal Order of Moose supports 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 70-acre retirement community for its members near Jacksonville, FL. Additionally, Moose Lodges conduct approximately $50 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations and volunteer hours worked) annually.
Meetings of the Loyal Order of the Moose, or LOOM, are held every 1st and 3rd Wednesday.
