Social-distancing efforts caused Modern Woodmen to temporarily modify chapter and youth service club events nationwide. However, our members continue to make a local impact. With the COVID-19 Relief Program, Modern Woodmen gave chapters, Summit chapters and youth service clubs access to funds to make a direct monetary donation to local nonprofit and public organizations. From mid-March through May, members donated nearly $1.1 million to community causes through the temporary program. Learn more >
