Lodge 1358 channels its energy into three pillars: veterans support, youth programs, and community giving. On the veterans side, members coordinate assistance for retired service men and women in the Penns Grove area, from advocacy to direct outreach. It's hands-on work, not just a line item in a budget.
For families, the Lodge runs youth-focused initiatives aligned with the national Elks network, targeting drug-free upbringing and healthy development. Fundraisers, scholarship awareness, and local charity drives fill the annual calendar alongside weekly food and drink specials that keep the social side of membership lively and affordable.
Membership opens the door to a full social calendar, use of Lodge facilities, and a network of people who genuinely invest in South Jersey. Guests are welcome at many events, so there's a low-pressure way to experience the Lodge before joining. Reach out through the national Elks contact portal or stop by 57 W Main St to learn more.
