Volunteer
No One Can Do Everything, But Everyone Can Do Something
The Green Cove Springs Elks Lodge invites all our members to be part of the team. Our meal nights are the most social aspect of our Lodge and are a big part of what makes our Lodge a wonderful place to be, but it takes a lot of people to make them happen. We are always asking for volunteers to help with meal preparation, serving, and clean-up. All of these activities take place because of volunteers. Volunteers are the life blood of our lodge, and without you many of these things might not happen. We need the support of our members to make these nights possible. Below are some opportunities for you to consider.
Meal Service Nights

Maintenance Committee
Our Maintenance Committee oversees the maintenance, repairs, and general upkeep of the Lodge’s buildings, property, common areas, and grounds. There are many handyman projects we could use your help with. If you are the handyman type or have a special skill you can offer to the Lodge let us know. The Maintenance Committee meets at the Lodge on the first Monday of each month. Come join us!
Everything we do here at the Elks Lodge is done by member volunteers. We cannot provide any service to our members or the community without our volunteers.
Community Outreach
We have many Community Outreach programs through-out the year where help is always appreciated. Check the website often for information on these opportunities.
