Community Benefits

The Grange provides the opportunity, the people provide the leadership, and the community reaps the benefits.

The Grange primarily serves the community through service projects and legislative action.

The Grange's community service tends to be projects directed at the local community. Each Grange determines what projects they wish to participate in and works within their community to realize their dream.

The Grange is a non-partisan organization. As such, we only work on the issues that the membership has set policy on. Grange legislative policy is created at the local Grange and the higher levels debate and adopt their policies from the policies submitted by the local Granges.

The Grange takes strong stands on many issues and works through the legislative process at the city, county, state, and national levels to carry out the wishes of the people.

Material Benefits
