Christmas Around the Clock
The Elks National Foundation loves the good tidings the holiday season brings, and wants to share that feeling with community members in need all year long. Here are some ways to use ENF programs to spread Christmas cheer year round.

  • Look beyond an annual holiday food basket. Using Community Investments Program grants to help those in need beyond the holiday season helps them become strong, active members of the community all year. Click here to learn how to use CIP grants to serve others.

  • Don’t wait until winter break to invite a scholar to your Lodge. Whether on campus or at home, an Elks scholar is always nearby! Invite scholars to the Lodge to speak about their experience in college, visit with members, or volunteer with a grant project. Click here to meet Elks scholars near you.

  • Keep local youth active in and out of school. Qualities like discipline and self-confidence are life lessons youth learn through the Elks Hoop Shoot and Elks Drug Awareness Program. Share the Elks Kids Zone with kids in the community and mention Hoop Shoot contests to local families.

  • Provide a hand up throughout the year. Veterans and military members struggle with employment, homelessness and housing, family support, health, and education. Turn your passion for serving veterans in need into action by helping veterans transition back into society. Click here for more information on serving veterans in need.

Thanks to supporters like you, the Elks National Foundation can spread the warmth and charity of the Christmas season, building stronger communities year round. Merry Christmas from the ENF!
