"Plant a tree for one who comes after me." Living Legacy is a program in which we plant fruit and nut trees in the community, so residents and future generations of people and wildlife alike can enjoy the bounty of a harvest and experience the benefits that trees bring in beautifying the world, cleaning the air and fight global warming.

​

Many of our members enjoy the fellowship of working as a team to help out with distribution of school supplies and bags of personal items for people without housing. Dallas Lodge #44 is proud to partner with Small Acts Now to distribute blessing bags of food and personal items  to people without housing.

Every year Dallas Lodge #44 holds several events to raised funds for local organizations. Parades, garage sales and selling IOOF merchandise are just a few of the ways we make money – money we give away to charitable groups. 

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs have sponsored and supported the Pilgrimage For Youth annually since 1949. This unique educational program brings high school students from around the world to study and participate in discussions concerning world affairs, as well as making new and lifelong friends. In 2022, Dallas Lodge #44 sponsored Isaiah Wilcox.

Across the country, Odd Fellows Lodges sponsor many types of events fulfilling our charge. Events range from Hot Wheels Rallies to cemetery and nature preserve clean-ups to? We welcome our members to bring new ideas for how we can better serve our communities.

Sometimes we like to dress up and get together with other Lodges for fun and fellowship, while raising money for beneficiaries like Foundation 45, Jonathan's Place and Promise House. These worthy organizations help us to fulfill our charge to educate the orphan and relieve the distressed.
