BE PART OF SOMETHING MORE!

Looking for a way to meet new people, get involved, and make a difference right here in our community? We’d love to welcome you to the Hastings Elks Lodge #159!

Being an Elk is about community, friendship, and giving back. Our members support local youth, honor our veterans, help neighbors in need, and take part in programs that make Hastings a better place to call home.

And there’s plenty of fun along the way! From Lodge activities and social events to friendships that last a lifetime, there’s something special about being part of the Elks family.

You don’t have to just live in your community—you can be part of making it stronger.

Come join us. Get involved. Make a difference.
