Home Service – About
Each State has a Major Project, and the Project for Pennsylvania is Pennsylvania Elks Home Service. The Home Service Program provides in-home nursing care management services by registered nurses to persons who have developmental disabilities. NO fees are charged to anyone receiving services from this program. The Bellefonte Elks does fundraising events during the Lodge year which runs from April 1st to March 31st. At the Spring Convention in May, all the Lodges, by District, present the amount that was raised by their Lodge. Last year, just over $500,000 was raised for Home Service by Lodges throughout Pennsylvania.
The Bellefonte Elks do two major fundraisers, monthly breakfasts, events and 50/50 drawings, all benefitting Home Service. Members also make donations throughout the year to Home Service as well. For Lodge year 2025-2026, the Elks raised over $25.900.00 and this past year, raised over $22,000.00. This was possible by lots of volunteer hours, members who purchased tickets for the raffles and donated items to the events. This is a great example of “Elks Care, Elks Share”!
