At 624 California St, the Gooding Elks Lodge 1745 has been a fixture of civic life in this small Idaho city for generations. Members gather here not for ceremony alone, but because they genuinely believe that what you give to your community comes back to you tenfold. With a perfect 5-star rating from every member who has weighed in, this lodge earns that distinction the old-fashioned way: good people showing up consistently.

The lodge is currently part of an exciting chapter in its history. Members like Tyler are working to extend the Elks' reach by establishing a new lodge in Twin Falls, honoring the legacy of a great-grandfather and strengthening the fraternal network across southern Idaho. That kind of multigenerational commitment is exactly what the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was built on.

If you live in Gooding or the surrounding Magic Valley region and want to belong to something that actually matters, this is the place to start that conversation. Membership here means more than a card in your wallet. It means being part of a community that looks after its own.

What We Offer

Gooding Elks Lodge 1745 offers its members a full range of fraternal programs, community outreach initiatives, and social events rooted in the Elks' national mission. From scholarship programs that support local students to veterans' assistance efforts that honor those who served, the lodge channels its energy into causes that make a measurable difference in Gooding and beyond.

The lodge also serves as a social hub where members connect at regular meetings, dinners, and community fundraisers. Facilities on California Street host private events and lodge-sponsored gatherings throughout the year. Members gain access to the broader BPOE national network, including reciprocal privileges at Elks lodges across the country.

For those interested in sponsoring a new member or exploring the process of chartering a lodge in a neighboring community like Twin Falls, the Gooding lodge provides mentorship and guidance to ensure good standing is maintained every step of the way.

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.
