The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the USA is a fraternal organization made up of the Grand Lodge with headquarters in Chicago IL and over 1,000 Lodges throughout the country. Their main principles are Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. Elk members work on programs for Veterans Services, Drug Awareness, Essay and Poster Contests and many more. Their Pennsylvania state project is the Home Service Nursing Project benefiting children and young adults. This program has nurses that are paid for by donations from Elks Lodges, grants and money from the Elks National Foundation, who travel throughout the state providing services at no charge to our clients.
