What Are Elks?

Elks are American Citizens united by the values of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. We are neighbors helping neighbors, dedicated to making our communities stronger through service, compassion, and fellowship.

What Do the Santa Monica Elks Do?

Our members are volunteers who proudly serve the Santa Monica community. From supporting veterans with Welcome Home Kits, clothing, and essential supplies, to providing food for local families, scholarships for students, youth programs, scouting support, and community grants, we are committed to making a positive difference every day.

We also bring people together through live music, Mahjong, garage sales, seasonal celebrations, our annual Tea, Hoop Shoot and Soccer Shoot competitions, holiday programs for children, and many other community activities. While we're a small lodge, we're proud of the big impact we make.

If you're looking for a meaningful way to serve your community, build lasting friendships, and be part of something bigger than yourself, we'd love to meet you.

Questions? We'd be happy to hear from you at smelks9061904@yahoo.com

The Santa Monica Elks are proud to serve our community through a variety of charitable programs funded in part by grants from the Elks National Foundation Community Investments Program. Our initiatives support local youth, veterans, families experiencing homelessness, and underserved students through education, food assistance, literacy, school supplies, service animal support, and essential resources. From helping homeless seniors celebrate graduation and stocking our Little Free Library to providing meals, hygiene kits, and pet food for veterans, our members are committed to making a lasting difference. Together, these programs reflect the Elks' mission of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity.
