Members raising flags outside the Coventry-West Greenwich Elks Lodge.

At Lodge #2285, the parking lot on Nooseneck Hill Road fills up on meeting nights with people who actually know each other's names. That's not a small thing. This is a fraternal organization rooted in two communities, Coventry and West Greenwich, and the work it does shows up in real, tangible ways: scholarship checks handed to local students, youth athletes competing in the Hoop Shoot program, and veterans who find support here rather than silence.

The lodge holds regular meetings that keep members connected and programs running. Families from across southern Rhode Island have used the hall for birthday parties, first birthdays, and celebrations of all kinds. Reviews consistently mention the staff's warmth and the reasonable pricing, and the space itself is clean and well-maintained. One parent rented it for a sweet 16 and called the experience exactly what she hoped for.

Elks Lodge #2285 is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of the largest fraternal organizations in the United States, which means members here have access to national programs while staying grounded in local community investment. The mission is straightforward: do good work, take care of your neighbors, and show up consistently.

What We Offer

The lodge runs programs that go well beyond the meeting room. Scholarship awards support local students pursuing higher education, distributed through a competitive process tied to national Elks standards. The Hoop Shoot program gives youth basketball players a structured path to regional and national competition, with the lodge coordinating local events each season.

Drug awareness programs bring prevention resources directly to the community, particularly focused on young people. Veterans services connect former service members with resources, recognition, and a community that understands their experience. The lodge also participates in ENF fundraising to support the Elks National Foundation's broader charitable work.

For those looking to rent the hall, the space is available for private functions and comes with a bartender included in the rental price. The setup is straightforward to book, the staff is easy to work with, and the pricing has earned consistent praise from families who've hosted events here.

"I had my sons first birthday here. The bartender was awful and made my experience at my sons first birthday horrible. I asked her for some water and she told me she had to charge me because they are “trying to make money”. I get that, but don’t have to be rude about it! The only reason she was there making tips was because I PAID for that event. Never again! Rude people."

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.
