About Us

Colonia Elks Lodge — photo 1

Colonia Elks Lodge 2282 has been a fixture on South Middlesex Avenue long enough that generations of Woodbridge Township families have called it home. Walk in on any given evening and you will find the kind of easy, unpretentious atmosphere that is getting harder to find: friendly faces, cold drinks, and conversations that actually go somewhere.

What sets Lodge 2282 apart is the work it does beyond its own walls. Members here show up for special needs kids and families who need an extra hand, organizing events that most civic groups never attempt. A 4.3-star rating built on only 17 honest reviews tells you something real: the people who come back keep coming back for a reason.

The lodge is small and deliberately so. There are no velvet ropes or membership gatekeeping for the sake of it. Elks Lodge 2282 is a place where you know your neighbor's name, where the staff remembers yours, and where showing up once is usually enough to feel like you belong.

What We Offer

Lodge 2282 offers a full calendar built around the things members actually want: social events and mixers, holiday gatherings, community fundraisers, and youth-focused programs that put resources directly into the hands of families who need them most.

The lodge maintains an on-site facility available to members for private events, meetings, and informal get-togethers. Elks charitable programs at the national level, including scholarships and veterans' outreach, are channeled locally through the lodge, meaning your dues and participation translate into tangible help for Colonia and Woodbridge Township residents.

Membership is open to U.S. citizens who believe in the Elks' four cardinal virtues: charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. Dues are affordable, the bar is friendly, and the calendar stays full.

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
