About Us

Exterior view of the Elks Lodge building with stone facade.

On South Ridge Road, something genuinely good happens almost every weekend. Elks Lodge 259 has been chartered in Green Bay since 1893, and the members here have never confused activity with purpose. Blood drives where donors ask for Pat or Kat by name. A Breakfast with Santa that draws families back year after year, complete with toys, candy, and staff who make kids feel like the morning was built just for them. A trunk-or-treat that parents describe as the perfect first Halloween experience.

That reputation, earned review by review and event by event, reflects what the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has always stood for: looking out for veterans, supporting local youth, and giving neighbors a reason to show up. Lodge 259 carries that mission with the kind of specificity that only a tight-knit chapter can manage. You don't get a generic handshake here. You get Joe at the blood drive, ready to talk your ear off in the best possible way.

With a 4.6-star rating across 29 reviews, the lodge earns praise not for grand gestures but for consistent, cheerful execution. If you've been curious about membership or just want to attend an event, the door on South Ridge is open.

What We Offer

Lodge 259 hosts a rotating calendar of community events that give Green Bay residents genuine reasons to gather. Seasonal family events like Breakfast with Santa and trunk-or-treat have become local traditions. Regular blood drives in partnership with area health organizations make donating easy and, thanks to the staff, even enjoyable.

For members, the lodge offers a welcoming social hall, fraternal programming, and volunteer opportunities tied to veterans' support and youth initiatives. Charitable fundraising runs through the chapter's DNA, connecting members to causes that matter in the greater Green Bay area.

Prospective members can explore the lodge through events before committing, making it easy to see the community in action first. Visit elks.org/259 or stop by 3195 S Ridge Rd to learn about upcoming events, membership requirements, and how Lodge 259 puts its values to work every month.

"Elks held a flag day ceremony. Boy Scouts displayed American flags from the first to the present and also the colors of the branches of service, narrated by the Elks. Rifle salute and taps done by post 11 American Legion. This is done every year by the Elks on flag day."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
