What it means to be a Lakeland Elk…
bpoeFor over 140 years, the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks has been dedicated to serving our fellow citizens.

Here at the Lakeland Lodge, men and women of the Elks are enjoying the camaraderie, compassion, community outreach, and support that are all part of being an Elk.
What it means to be a Lakeland Elk…
Lakeland Elks enjoy indoor and outdoor sports activities, entertainment, parties, dances, dining, and much more.

Elks take great pride in giving back to our communities. Nationally, each year, the nearly one million Elks working together with the Elks National Foundation provide over $80 million for charitable programs such as the Hoop Shoot competition, scholarships, drug awareness in our schools, and assistance for veterans of all wars.

In Florida alone, Elks provide millions of dollars in assistance to the neediest among us:

      • The Army of Hope provides assistance to veterans and military families
      • The Elks Children’s Therapy Program brings mobile, in-home therapy services to children across the state
      • The 400-acre Elks Youth Camp in Umatilla builds character while simultaneously inspiring Florida’s youth by teaching respect and responsibility

As a member of our order, you will be supporting all of these programs while enjoying all of the benefits of being an Elk.

If you are looking for something meaningful that truly makes a difference in your local community and the lives of others, and if you and your spouse want to meet new and interesting people who share your values and commitments to our country, then you’ve found it.

We hope that you’ll take that next step and make the Lakeland Elks part of the next chapter in your life. Together we can do great things
