Alabama Lodge #1 was the 1st Odd Fellows Lodge in Alabama and is a local chapter of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). We promote personal and social development through fraternity and community service. Please contact us for more information or if you would like to become a member.

Odd Fellows lodges engage in various activities, such as helping the sick, supporting the distressed, educating orphans, and participating in charitable projects tailored to the needs of our local communities. Members are encouraged to develop personally by progressing through lodge degrees, which symbolize their growth within the organization. Overall, Odd Fellows lodges focus on fostering goodwill, harmony, and mutual aid among people.

The Encampment branch aims to further the work of Odd Fellowship and impart the principles of Faith, Hope, and Charity. In the United States and Canada, membership in the Encampment is open for men and women holding the third degree in the Odd Fellows Lodge.
