The Rutherford Elks Lodge, along with all other Elks Lodges across the country, do great work in regards to Veterans, Special Children and the Community. 

Rutherford Lodge #547 is community-oriented and very involved with the following charitable works:

• The Elks National Foundation 

• Youth Scholarships

• Youth Activities such as:

  • Soccer Shoot

  • Hoop Shoot

  • Youth Tournaments

• Veterans National Service Commission

  • Army of Hope

"So long as there is a veteran in our country, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them."

• Special Children

"An Elk never stands so tall as when he kneels to help a special child."

The Elks started as a social organization and evolved into its present form of charitable and community service. Elk members and their guests enjoy the hospitality of Rutherford Lodge #547 at numerous social functions such as dinners and parties, family picnics and other informal gatherings. 

The Rutherford Elks Lodge services Rutherford, East Rutherford, Carlstadt, Wallington, and other surrounding areas.  You do not have to be a Rutherford resident (or a resident of any of the listed towns) to join the Rutherford Elks Lodge!
