Elks also look for other community needs and put together programs to address those needs. The Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks is 141 years old and is a fraternal order with nearly 1 million members and over 2000 lodges across the United States.
The Order spends more than 80 Million dollars every year for benevolent, educational, and patriotic community minded programs.
