Kearney Elks Lodge #984

Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up. Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, meet the needs of today's veterans, and improve the quality of life. Kearney Elks Country Golf course is our home and we love being a place where friendships flourish and families spend time together.

At Kearney Elks Lodge #984, we pride ourselves on being an organization founded in social and service. We host Burger Night year-round on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays along with a variety of other social events including St. Patty's Day, steak night, karaoke, casino night, cream can dinner and tournaments of golf and pitch.

Through grants from the Elks National Foundation we host Warm Welcome to the Library providing a new, colorful, warm coat and a new book to Head Start students along with offering library tours to their families. We battle food insecurities by providing funding to Crossroads Mission, East Lawn Food Pantry, and the Hanny Arram Center for Excellence student food pantry. We deliver care packages to veterans in long term care facilities in Central Nebraska each year on Veteran's Day. This year, we delivered to 144 veterans.

Kearney Elks Lodge #984 supports the Central Nebraska Veteran's Home activities by hosting bingo once a month, funding and volunteering for Oktoberfest, and the Fourth of July fireworks.

Healthy, happy, drug free youth is passion for the Kearney Elks. Red Ribbon week is a focus each year.
