HELP Save ELKS Empire Lodge 216 in New Rochelle
Donation protected
The Elks Lodge 216 (Pyramid Temple 45) has been serving the New Rochelle community since 1917. For over 100 years, "The Elks" has served as a community hub and venue in the Lincoln Ave corridor. The Elks Lodge has raised money for scholarships, school supplies, food and other resources for the New Rochelle community.
The Covid-19 pandemic placed a significant financial strain on the organization, preventing them from opening their doors and raising the funds necessary to operate on a day-to-day basis. And over the years, The Elks building has fallen into a state of disrepair. The need for extensive repairs has limited The Elks' ability to rent out the facility and generate much-needed income.
Urgent repairs needed:
- Fix a collapsed sewer line.
- Add new gas line.
- Repair restrooms to operating condition.
- Needs an interior paint job and repair of entry steps.
There are other repairs needed, but without the urgent repairs listed above, The Elks Lodge runs the risk of never opening and operating again.
We (Friends of Elks Lodge 216) need to raise $7000 to complete these repairs and once again open the doors so The Elks can serve the New Rochelle community.
This is not a lot of money to raise to save a 100 year old New Rochelle institution. PLEASE DONATE what you can...AND SHARE the link to this fundraising page.
Your help is much appreciated!
