In June 2023, Ricard Jennene established Elks Angels Inc (Florida Sunbiz Document #N23000007698) from our community sanctuary at 13788 Kendale Lakes Dr, Miami, FL 33183. Witnessing firsthand how a single unexpected medical bill, utility spike, or job disruption could push hardworking Southwest Miami-Dade families and fragile elders toward crisis, he envisioned an agile, deeply personal benevolence society.
Our name unites two enduring symbols of community guardianship: the quiet strength and watchful protection of the Elk within the glade, and the swift, unconditional mercy of real-world Angels. Unlike distant bureaucratic agencies, Elks Angels Inc operates at the neighborhood level—listening with dignity, verifying urgent needs rapidly, and deploying direct micro-grants, wholesome groceries, and youth educational supplies where they matter most.
“No neighbor in Kendale Lakes should ever feel invisible in their hour of need.”
— Ricard Jennene, President & Founder
