The Allegheny Elks Lodge participates in the Elks National Drug Awareness Program — the largest volunteer drug awareness program in the United States — by attending various community events and festivals to distribute literature, and by sponsoring lectures in schools throughout the City of Pittsburgh. The Lodge works closely with Pittsburgh’s Urban Impact Foundation, as well as national youth drug prevention speaker Ray Lozano. The Elks are committed to eliminating the use and abuse of illegal drugs by all members of society and believe that in order to ensure a bright future for our country, it is essential that our children be raised in a drug-free environment. The program also works to prevent underage drinking and the use of tobacco and nicotine vape products.
