Experience genuine community, great food, and purpose-driven fellowship at Elks Lodge 39 in Ralston.
For decades, Elks Lodge 39 at 6410 S 96th Street has stood as a cornerstone of South Omaha, where neighbors become brothers and sisters in service. Step inside our historic hall and you'll feel the warmth immediately—polished wood, the aroma of chef Greg's legendary home-cooked meals, and the unmistakable sound of laughter echoing from every corner. Whether you're stopping by for a late-night Thanksgiving Eve dinner when other kitchens have closed, gathering with fellow veterans, or simply seeking a place where you're always welcome, our lodge delivers something rare: authentic belonging. We honor our founding principles of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity while adapting to serve today's Omaha families. Our members range from lifelong Ralston residents to newcomers looking to put down roots. Every event, every meal, and every meeting is rooted in the simple truth that when people come together with open hearts and helping hands, communities thrive.
