Our Mission

Empathy, Love, Kindness and Support (ELKS) is a social organization that was founded on the belief that those four values are the key that are needed to build strong and meaningful relationships. Our primary goal is to create a society where individuals can express themselves without fear or judgment, and where discrimination based on race or gender identity is eliminated. We provide essential resources and services to individuals and families in need, and strive to create an environment where everyone feels supported and empowered.
