Pottstown Elks

The Pottstown Elks Lodge #814, located at 61 East High Street in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, was founded on November 26, 1902. This institution is part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a non-political, non-sectarian American fraternity dedicated to community service.

Since 1963, the Pennsylvania Home Service program has been assisting individuals with developmental disabilities, thanks to the support and fundraising efforts of the Pottstown Elks Lodge. Members participate in events like the home service breakfast to raise funds for these important causes.

Membership in the Elks is by invitation only, with requirements including being an American citizen, believing in God, having good moral character, and being at least 21 years old. Interested individuals can be sponsored by a current member in good standing from any lodge in the country.

The Pottstown Elks Lodge hosts various committees and events, as detailed in their monthly newsletter, The Toast. The Elks organization is committed to never forgetting veterans and provides support through various programs and initiatives.

The women’s auxiliary, known as the Doe Club, has been organizing programs and events for the Pottstown community since 1938. Members of the Elks have access to discounts on a variety of services, in addition to the sense of community and camaraderie that comes with being part of the organization.

Elks Lodges are places where neighbors come together, families bond over meals, and children grow up in a supportive environment. The Elks motto is "Elks care. Elks share."
