Lake Okeechobee Elks Lodge No. 2871


For over 150 years, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been dedicated to serving our fellow citizens. Here in Florida, the 55,000 men and women in 96 lodges from the panhandle to the Keys are business, civic and community-minded individuals who are devoted to their families and our country and are actively involved in charitable programs.

 

In Florida alone, Elks provide millions of dollars in yearly assistance to the neediest among us. Some of our projects include:

 

·        Our Florida Elks Children’s Therapy Program which provides free mobile, in-home therapy services to over 500 children a week across the state

·        Our 400-acre Florida Elks Youth Camp provides a safe camping experience to over 20,000 children a year and influences kids to become the adults that we would be proud to have as Elks and American citizens

·        Our Army of Hope project provides financial assistance to veterans and military families

·        Our Youth Scholarship programs assisting tomorrow’s leaders
