Elks Lodge #479 runs a weekend food assistance program that is open to the public, no membership required. If you or someone you know is facing a tough stretch, that program is a real, immediate resource worth knowing about.
For members and guests, the lodge operates as a full event venue with a calendar that stays packed: dinners, charity auctions, community socials, and lodge-sponsored initiatives that benefit veterans, children's organizations, and local food banks. The facility is also available for private events, giving the Everett community a distinctive space with character that a hotel ballroom simply cannot replicate.
Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks connects you to a national network of over 800,000 members while keeping your charitable dollars local. Lodge #479 channels contributions directly into Snohomish County, so you can see exactly where the impact lands.
