On this All Souls Day, we remember the Grange members and leaders who have gone before us.
We encourage you to share your memories of loved ones who have entered the Great Grange Above.

"And when we are called to lay down our implements on earth, may we enter the Paradise not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, and receive that welcome plaudit, 'Well done, good and faithful servants.'" - Grange Chaplain, Opening Ceremony

Gratitude in Action: Thank Someone Who Serves

Think about the people in your community who are always willing to lend a hand. The volunteers who show up for every fundraiser, the neighbors who check in on others, the people who serve on committees, coach youth sports, or help wherever they're needed.

Chances are, you know someone who gives a lot of their time without expecting much recognition.

This week, we're encouraging you to thank one of those people. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. A phone call, a handwritten note, or a few words of appreciation can go a long way.

Who in your Grange or community deserves a little recognition? Give them a shout-out in the comments!

November is National Gratitude Month, and this year, we're putting our own Grange spin on it!

Throughout November, we're celebrating Gratitude in Action Month, recognizing the people and organizations we're thankful for and encouraging everyone to find ways to show that appreciation.

For Grange members, giving back is nothing new. Whether it's organizing a community meal, helping a neighbor, supporting a local school, or volunteering for a good cause, service is part of who we are.

This month, we want to celebrate those efforts while encouraging everyone to take a little extra time to recognize the people who make our communities better.

Follow along each Monday for a new way to put gratitude into action, and share your own stories with us throughout the month!
