‘Hunger Is a Pandemic’ Food Drive
This year, as a result of COVID-19, our chapter has decided to do a virtual food drive to continue to support our local food bank – Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania. Second Harvest Food Bank provides food to those in need within eleven counties of northwest Pennsylvania while creating awareness and educating the community on the realities of hunger.
Last year, the Lake Erie Chapter battled four other PSAA chapters to see who could collect the most donations for their local food banks. Due to the efforts of all of you, our chapter was awarded the 2019 Bread Box Award from Second Harvest for this effort – but we don’t want to stop there!
According to experts, before the COVID-19 pandemic there were already 135 million people worldwide on the brink of starvation. Projections show that this number is expected to almost double by the end of 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic! We can help reduce this staggering increase by taking care of those right in our own community.

Erie City Mission Christmas Clean Up
Many hands made light work as we volunteered at the Erie City Mission on Saturday, January 4th!
The Lake Erie Chapter volunteers each year to pack up and put away the Christmas decorations.
We enjoyed a tour of the new facilities and learned more about the crucial role the Erie City Mission plays in helping our city's homeless.
Watch our Facebook page and website for future volunteer opportunities! We would love to have more join us.
