Lodge #26 operates as a full-service fraternal club anchored by BPOE membership and open to visiting Elks from across the nation. The bar is staffed by people who know your name by the second round, and the atmosphere on any given evening ranges from a quiet weeknight catch-up to a lively scholarship banquet that fills every seat in the hall.
Beyond the bar and social floor, the lodge hosts community fundraisers, youth scholarship programs, and charitable initiatives that funnel real dollars back into the south Kansas City neighborhood. Members gain access to lodge facilities for private events, and the kitchen supports dinners tied to the lodge's regular programming calendar.
Visiting Elks are always welcome. Drop by during open hours, present your membership card, and you'll find the same warm reception that earned this lodge its reputation. Whether you're a lifelong member or considering joining the Elks for the first time, Lodge #26 is a straightforward place to start that conversation.
