About Us

A classic car with vibrant flames on display. — Moreno Valley Elks Lodge
A classic car with vibrant flames on display.

Friday nights at Moreno Valley Elks Lodge have a reputation. The steaks come out sizzling, the hall fills with laughter, and strangers leave as friends. That's not an accident. It's what happens when a lodge is built around people who actually show up for each other, week after week, year after year.

Situated on Day Street in Moreno Valley, this lodge has earned its 4.5-star reputation the old-fashioned way: by doing the work. Members rally around local youth programs, stand behind veterans, and organize events that give the community something worth gathering for. Prospective members often visit as guests multiple times before joining, and nearly every one of them says the same thing: the people here are the real draw.

The BPOE tradition runs deep, but this lodge doesn't rest on ceremony alone. It's a living, active organization where the calendar stays full and the doors stay open to those who want to contribute to something larger than themselves.

What We Offer

Membership at Moreno Valley Elks Lodge opens the door to a packed calendar of events, from the legendary Friday steak nights to community fundraisers, veterans' support initiatives, and youth scholarship programs. The lodge's spacious venue accommodates everything from intimate dinners to large-scale gatherings.

Beyond the social events, the lodge channels member energy into meaningful causes. Veterans receive recognition and direct support. Local kids benefit from scholarship funds and youth activities that the lodge sponsors throughout the year. Prospective members are welcome to attend as guests and experience the community firsthand before applying.

The lodge also offers its banquet-ready venue for private events and functions, giving members and the broader Moreno Valley community a well-maintained, welcoming space to celebrate milestones and host gatherings that matter.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
