Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
Who we are
Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.
Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, meet the needs of today's veterans, and improve the quality of life.
What we do
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is the premier charitable and patriotic organization in the USA.
We adopt local veterans and troops overseas to whom we send packages with toiletries, snacks and candies. We also correspond with soldiers via letters. The Elks has set aside $4 million to fight veteran homelessness.
Did you know that our local Faribault Elks Lodge #1166 has donated over $5.5 million to our community?
