Lodge #1165 offers members a full calendar of social events, shared meals, and organized volunteer opportunities that make it easy to stay connected and give back. The dining room hosts regular member gatherings where food and conversation flow freely. Community fundraisers, scholarship programs, and youth initiatives run throughout the year, giving every member a way to contribute that fits their schedule and skills.
Veterans' recognition sits at the heart of what this lodge does. The annual free Veterans Day lunch is open to the entire community, honoring both active-duty personnel and those who have served. Beyond that signature event, the lodge supports veterans through advocacy, recognition programs, and ongoing charitable efforts coordinated through the Elks National Veterans Service Commission.
New members gain access to the lodge's facilities, social network, and decades of institutional knowledge about how to make a real difference in Live Oak. Whether you're a longtime Florida resident or newer to the area, Lodge #1165 is a place where membership means something tangible, not just a card in your wallet.
