Here at the Elks, one of our main objectives is to give back to the community. Here are some of the programs that we have:
Food Drives
Each Fall, our Lodge collects donations of boxed & canned foods, non-perishable goods, money, toiletries and more! The drive typically runs through October and ends mid-November.
Over the years Elks Lodge 590 has donated goods to the Coralville Community Food Pantry, the Iowa City Food Pantry at Pepperwood Plaza, and the Food Pantry at the University of Iowa.
Toys for Tots
Each year we collect donations for Toys for Tots! The drive begins in November and ends after the first week in December.
Give program
The Elks partners with the GIVE program. Members of the GIVE program are able to play golf at Elks Lodge 590 absolutely FREE!
Veteran Programs
Every year we host the National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic in September. This program helps veterans from around the country and instructs them on how to golf and advance their golf game.
Ronald McDonald House
We are continuously collecting can tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House!
Hoop Shoot
The Elks Hoop Shoot, funded by the Elks National Foundation, is a free throw contest for children ages 8 to 13.
Through the Hoop Shoot program, the Elks have been unleashing grit for more than 50 years—long before researchers and experts concluded that grit is so important for our children. Just listen to the parents and contestants in these videos. They’re talking about grit.
