About Us

Exterior view of Berwick Elks Lodge 1138 building.

On West 2nd Street in Berwick, Lodge 1138 has been doing the work that holds a small Pennsylvania town together. Thursday nights, the kitchen fires up from 4 to 8 p.m. and the dining room fills with regulars who come as much for the conversation as the food. That weekly meal is a small thing that means a lot, and it says everything about how this lodge operates.

The Berwick Elks Lodge has hosted Red Cross blood drives, served free breakfasts to veterans, and kept the focus squarely on the people who need it most. Members describe it the same way every time: genuinely friendly, no pretense, and serious about giving back. With a 4.7-star rating across nearly 60 reviews, the reputation is earned, not marketed.

A bowling alley is on the way, adding one more reason for members and guests to gather here. But the real draw has always been the same: a community that shows up for each other, run by people who mean it.

What We Offer

Lodge 1138 offers a full calendar of events and amenities anchored around the two things Elks do best, fellowship and community service. The Thursday night dinners (4 to 8 p.m.) are open and beloved, a weekly tradition that draws members and guests for honest, satisfying food in a welcoming atmosphere.

Beyond the dinner table, the lodge hosts veteran appreciation breakfasts, partners with the American Red Cross for blood drives, and runs ongoing charitable programs that put money and volunteer hours directly into the Berwick community. Membership opens the door to a network of fellow Elks across the country, local social events, and a lodge that genuinely invests in its members' well-being.

An on-site bowling alley is coming soon, expanding the recreational offerings for members and making Lodge 1138 an even bigger hub for Berwick social life.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
