The Key West lodge recently donated $6,000 to the Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys, which helps cancer patients with housing and living expenses while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments that leave them unable to work.
The lodge that meets on Flagler Avenue in Key West was instituted in 1900, and currently has 62 members, with former mayor Dennis Wardlow its leader.
For the year 2024, the lodge received grants from the Elks National Foundation to assist in the development of programs serving local youth, veterans and others in need.
