East Providence Elks

Ever wonder about the Elks or The Elks National Foundation and how they benefit the community?
Well, for starters, the Elks is The Premier Charitable and Patriotic Organization in the Nation!
The East Providence Lodge has been serving the community for over 50 years! The East Providence Elks Lodge gives back to the community by supporting the Bread of Life Food Pantry and We Share Hope, by hosting Elks Family Day, Trunk or Treat (Children's Halloween Event), and an Annual Children's Fishing Derby. We provide Thanksgiving baskets for those in need, host a Mother's Day breakfast and a Father's Day Steak Fry, as well as prepare and serve Thanksgiving and Easter dinners every year! We also have a Charitable Knitting Group and sponsor a Motorcycle Mystery Ride to benefit The Impossible Dream Foundation.

During the 2016-2017 Lodge year, the RI State Elks donated $62,586.67 to the Elks National Foundation. This year, the Foundation will give back $107,890. That's a ratio of $1.724 for every dollar the Foundation received from RI last year. And that doesn't even include the money Lodges received in Community Investments Program. For the fiscal year, the Foundation gave a total of $55,200 to 7 RI Lodges. WOW a whopping $163,090 we received from ENF to carry on the work we do in our communities.
