Who we are

A Proud Part of the Moose Fraternity Since 1888

Winder Moose Lodge 262 is your local chapter of the Moose, a fraternal and service organization founded in 1888 with a vision: “A burden heavy to one is borne lightly by many.”

We’re neighbors, friends, and volunteers dedicated to serving our community and making Winder a better place to live.

  • Support Youth and Seniors: We support national Moose initiatives Mooseheart Child City & School in Illinois and Moosehaven retirement community in Florida reflecting our belief in caring for people of all ages 

  • Foster Fellowship: From social events to family dinners, member meetings to live entertainment, Lodge 262 is a place where friendships flourish, memories are made, and everyone feels welcomed
