About Us

A silhouette memorial with an American flag in a wooded area.

On South New York Road in Galloway, Lodge 2845 has earned a 4.9-star reputation the hard way, one Fourth of July parade, one dart night, and one plate of free food at a time. Members and non-members alike walk through these doors and leave feeling like they belong. That is not an accident. It is the culture this lodge has built.

The Independence Day celebration here has become the kind of community anchor that people plan their summer around. Families line up for free, delicious food. The parade rolls out with precision. Kids wave flags. It is the sort of day that reminds a town what it actually means to live somewhere, not just exist in it.

And on quieter evenings, the bar hums with Thursday dart leagues, regulars who know your name, and bartenders who pour with personality. The sheds out back have become their own legend among members. If you have never visited, the door is easier to walk through than you might think.

What We Offer

Lodge 2845 is more than a membership card. It is access to a full calendar of events, a welcoming bar, and a community that shows up when it counts. Dart leagues on Thursdays draw competitive and casual players alike, and the atmosphere is exactly the kind of laid-back fun that is hard to find.

The lodge hosts community events and parades, particularly around patriotic holidays, that are open to the broader Galloway area. Free food, organized festivities, and genuine volunteer energy make these gatherings a cut above anything a corporate sponsor could produce.

For those exploring membership, the Elks offer charitable programs, youth initiatives, veteran support, and a social hall that can be reserved for private events. Whether you are a lifelong Elk or someone who just wandered in with a friend, you will find something here worth coming back for.

"Not even a Elks member, stopped by with a friend who is also not a member. We were trying to garner information about his recently deceased brother. We were the first customers of the day, met a lot of GREAT people and even got invited to a home cooked meal the next day. Six hours later we got back to our hotel room. Looking forward to the dinner tomorrow."

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
