For over 50 years, the Esperance Elks have been bringing to this community the legacy of our Order’s charitable work that began nationally in 1868.
Founded by a group of actors to share fellowship and housing on the road, the group turned to mutual aid and supporting one another when one of their own passed away and left a wife and children to fend for themselves. This in turn evolved into devotion to charity that has been the cardinal principle of our Order. This unfortunate occurrence gave rise the greatest fraternal organization in the world, and while changed over the years by social evolution in our culture, the basic principles of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity prevail as a guide to conduct our endeavors to this day.

The Order of Elks promotes a number of different programs to promote the development of America's youth, the honor and sacrifice of the American veteran, and patriotism towards the American way of life. As much as possible, the Esperance Elks Lodge promotes and participates in these programs and wholeheartedly accepts any partnerships with other community agencies to advance the tenets of these programs and the shared values of the Order.
