Community Involvement
Our purpose is people and our commitment is to community.
We’re Better Together
Amplifying positive impact for Northeast Pennsylvania
Since our members own Penn East, one of the ways we return value is by investing in their community. Some call this “doing well by doing good”.
Our members recognize that, as a community, we’re strongest when everyone has an opportunity to succeed. This is why we strive to return more resources to the community.
