Recognized nationally on July 20, Pennsylvania Day celebrates the Commonwealth’s history, heritage and people.

Volunteers will participate in projects focused on food insecurity and neighborhood beautification in partnership with Feeding Pennsylvania, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, The GIANT Company, Natural Food Group, EQT Corporation, and PennDOT.
