Welcome to Your Elks
Become Part of Something Bigger
At the heart of the Elks is a set of values that never go out of style. We believe in Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity — timeless virtues that shape how we serve, connect, and lead in our communities. We honor God, Country, and Community, standing proudly behind the American flag and the freedoms it represents. If you believe in faith, family, and lifting others up, you’ll feel right at home.
We take action where it matters most. Through hands-on service, generous giving, and strong partnerships, Elks across the country support causes that change lives:
US Veterans
We stand by those who served. From housing and hygiene kits to hospital visits and heartfelt honors, Elks are boots-on-the-ground supporters of our veterans and military families.
Youth Programs
We believe in investing early. Elks sponsor scholarships, youth sports competitions, leadership camps, and mentoring programs that help young people reach their full potential.
Drug Awareness
Our nationwide Drug Awareness Program educates kids, parents, and communities on the dangers of substance abuse — giving them the tools to choose a healthier future.
Community Service
Every lodge is a hub for good. Whether it’s feeding families, responding to disasters, or lending a hand to a neighbor in need, Elks are there to serve with heart and humility.
You don’t need to wear a uniform to serve your country.
Join the Elks — and serve with purpose.
