We are a fraternal order providing support for our local community.
We are the Lander, WY Elks Lodge #2317. We support our community through contributions of money, time, services, and resources. Our largest project is the annual Christmas Basket drive which provides more than 300 families in Lander with food and gifts for Christmas. We actively support the youth of our community by offering scholarships and fundraising for school events and health expenses as well as positive activities such as the Hoop Shoot, Soccer Shoot, and Easter Egg Hunt.
To inculcate the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its Members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism; to cultivate good fellowship; to perpetuate itself as a fraternal organization, and to provide for its government, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America will serve the people and communities through benevolent programs, demonstrating that Elks Care and Elks Share.
