Welcome to the online home of the New Jersey State Grange, a chapter of the National Grange, America’s foremost volunteer and grassroots organization. The Grange is a fraternal organization for all of America that welcomes men, women and young persons to its membership, regardless of nationality, race, age, profession or educational background, providing opportunities for all to share in equal membership and to come together to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others. Today’s New Jersey State Grange has a variety of departments which share their respective goals and direction with Subordinate Granges from throughout the State.
Building the Grange for Tomorrow
The traditions of the last 150 plus have served us well but now is the time to look to the future. What do our meetings and activities look like in what is becoming our new normal? How can we stay relevant and be involved with our communities?
2026 – Grange – Heart of the Community
Grange - Heart of the Community is our theme for 2026.
The Grange is often called the “heart of the community” because of what we do; our commitment to service and our connection to rural advocacy. We provide a gathering place, a support system for the community and we are a proven catalyst for positive change.
None of that would be possible without our outreach and activities in our communities. We need to continue to build on our foundation of service to our friends and neighbors. We need to build programs and outreach that is relevant, timely and will continue to make the Grange, on all levels, visible and involved. We will not hit a home run with everything we do but we need to make an effort. We need to continue to create partnerships with the other Granges around us but especially with other organizations that have the same ideals and principles as the Grange.
As you look through this program book, you will see we have some of the same programs we have had over the past several years: our quarterly gatherings on Zoom, A Day of Learning 7 in March, and some other fun activities to be announced. Watch the Gleaner for more details.
Our Grange heartbeat is getting stronger! Please get involved and help us grow!
