International Association Of Rebekah Assemblies
The Daughters of Rebekah, also known as the Rebekahs and the International Association of Rebekah Assemblies, is an international service-oriented organization and a branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Thus, the Rebekahs began as the female auxiliary of the IOOF, Initially, only relatives such as wives or daughters of IOOF members were allowed.

If someone is in need of help and sees a block parent sign, they know there is someone home who can help them and call the appropriate emergency service if necessary. The program, which included 300,000 participants in its heyday, is in decline.
