MEDIA ALERT – NOTICE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ELKS WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE FOR AMERICA THIS DECEMBER

Chicago, IL - December 1, 2025:

This December, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is lighting the way for communities across America. At a time when many families are searching for hope, the Elks are answering the call with generosity, compassion, and unity on a scale few organizations can match. Across more than 1,800 Lodges in all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and the Panama Canal Zone, Elks members are stepping forward to serve their neighbors and strengthen the places they proudly call home.

Elks volunteers are preparing and delivering thousands of holiday food baskets, warm meals, gifts, and essential items to families facing difficult times. Hospitalized and homebound Veterans will receive heartfelt visits, care packages, and reminders that they are valued and never forgotten. These moments of kindness honor the Elks’ solemn promise to those who served our country: “So long as there are Veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.”

The Elks’ commitment to America’s youth shines especially bright this season. Lodges nationwide are reviewing thousands of scholarship applications and investing 5 million dollars annually to help students pursue their dreams. Through the Community Investment Program, the Elks will deliver 17.6 million dollars in grants to strengthen neighborhoods, uplift seniors, support families in need, fight hunger, improve community safety, and build lasting connections that make towns and cities stronger.

In 2024, Elks volunteers contributed more than 531 million dollars in charitable impact. That extraordinary achievement reflects the Order’s 157-year legacy of service, patriotism, and compassion. With nearly 800,000 members, the Elks continue to welcome American citizens age 21 and older who believe in God and share their commitment to charity and community.

This December, the Elks will be the light. This December, the Elks will Be the Difference for America.
