Community Service

At the Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees, service continues beyond retirement. Our members remain active in their communities through volunteer efforts, donation drives, outreach programs, and partnerships that make a meaningful difference across Pennsylvania.

Giving back is an important part of who we are. Through local chapters and statewide initiatives, members support causes that strengthen communities and improve the lives of others.

 

State Level Service Initiatives

PASR supports service efforts that encourage member participation across the state. These initiatives bring members together around shared causes and provide opportunities to make a collective impact.

More recent projects:

  • Annual participation in the USPS Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive
  • In 2021, PASR raised over $44,000 for Feeding Pennsylvania
  • In 2024, PASR raised over $29,000 for Feeding Pennsylvania and local food banks
  • PASR staff dedicates one volunteer service day each year to support local community organizations.
    • Such as Leg Up Farm, Central Penn Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, and more.

 

Chapter Community Service Projects

PASR chapters also lead service projects that address needs within their local communities. These efforts allow members to stay engaged while supporting causes that are meaningful in their own areas.

Chapter projects have included:

  • Food drives for local pantries
  • Back-to-school supply drives
  • Supporting the Troops
  • Holiday donation programs
  • Volunteer service at community events
  • Donations to shelters, senior centers, and local organizations

 

Making an Impact

The collective efforts of our members create positive changes in communities across the state. Whether through volunteering time, collecting donations, or supporting charitable causes, PASR members continue to serve with compassion and commitment.

Each chapter plays an important role by identifying local needs and organizing projects that allow members to stay engaged and connected through service.
