There’s something truly special about being an Elk. It’s not just meetings, events, or traditions… it’s heart. ❤️
When tragedy strikes, Elks don’t hesitate. They step forward.
Recently, Springfield Lodge #409 raised over $12,000 to support the families of fallen deputies. Real people, real heroes, and real need.
That’s what selflessness looks like.
That’s what community looks like.
That’s what being an Elk means.
We stand behind our First Responders and not just in words, but in action. In compassion. In unwavering support when it matters most.
Proud to be part of an organization that shows up, gives back, and lifts others in their darkest moments.
Elks Care. Elks Share. 🦌💙

"I want to introduce one of the newest initiatives of the #409: “Blessing Bundles”.
This started out of a challenge presented by the State President Jason Meisenheimer back in July when he and his team visited and presented the ECHO program (Elks Charities Helping Others). You might actually be surprised how difficult it is to actually speak to a leader within the Department of Social Services, but after several months of assistance from Theresa Suda, Russ Suda, Cricket Vaughan, and myself, we’ve identified 41 youth ages 13-17 who need our help!

The #409 Blessing Bundles Mission is to ensure every displaced young person leaves with a backpack, not a garbage bag during housing transitions. The #409 Blessing Bundle Projects unites our communities to provide backpacks filled with personal care and comfort items, empowering youth with dignity support, and confidence as they navigate their next steps.

Last week (with the help of the Past Exalted Rulers) we started assembling the backpacks. We are far from done and could use your help and support. I’d like to personally thank the #409 committees for their donation consideration, but especially Frank Stevens for his donation to help get this initiative off the ground.
The Amazon Wish List is detailed in the comments if you’d like to personally donate."
Heather Sade, Blessing Bundles Chairperson
