the Ancient Order of Foresters

The Ancient Order of Foresters is a fraternal organization founded in the 19th century that provides mutual support and social camaraderie among its members. It emphasizes charitable work, community service, and personal development, often through local branches known as lodges. Members typically pay into a fund, which offers financial assistance like insurance benefits and aid during times of need. While it originated as a form of mutual aid, today it also promotes social activities and community involvement, fostering a sense of brotherhood and contributing positively to society.
