At 150 Garfield Ave, the Long Branch Elks Lodge has been part of the fabric of this coastal New Jersey city for generations. Members here don't just pay dues and disappear. They show up, roll up their sleeves, and make things happen, from charity drives that benefit local families to banquets that fill the hall with laughter and good food.

The lodge has earned a 4.5-star rating from more than 100 reviewers, and the praise keeps coming back to the same thing: the people. Real members, real community, real investment in making Long Branch a better place to live. As one member put it, the men and women here represent something worth showing up for.

The BPOE mission, Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity, isn't just a motto carved above a doorway. At this lodge, it shows up in how members treat each other and how they treat the community around them. If you're looking for an organization that does more than hold meetings, this is it.

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
