PAA State College Donation Drive

Regional Advisory Council State Event Sponsor:

The PAA is hosting our First Annual State College Donation Drive from April 26th, through June 10th, 2024.  You may register to be a participant through May 10th, 2024, but we will accept donations through June 10th.

The Penn State University students will soon be wrapping up their year and successfully moving on.  Students will be ready to donate food and furniture to the area food banks and Habitat for Humanity.  The PAA would like to assist our area members and non-members with organizing the food and furniture collections at your properties.  What a great way to give back as a group representing the rental housing industry in State College!  This event is sure to make your hearts sing.

The food and furniture donation drive will start on Friday, April 26th, and continue through Monday, June 10th, 2024.

PAA will work with Move for Hunger to donate the food items as collected to the local State College Food Bank.
