Mission Statement
To serve as the voice of rural, agricultural,
and suburban New Jersey by identifying problems, proposing solutions, and taking actions
which will enhance the quality of life of all citizens. To keep in contact with
Legislators, both in the State of New Jersey, and also on the Federal level, making them
aware of the concerns of not only Grange members, but all people, regarding important and
current issues. The Legislative Department of the National Grange will stand. Changes will
be made. Changes are beneficial in order to survive! The Legislative Department has been
an important and necessary part of the Grange since it began in 1867.
