In May, Penn East sponsored a field trip for the transitional life skills class at ECA - Monticello in order for the class to learn how to budget! The class learned fundamental financial skills while enjoying a lunch, rides, and seeing the animals at the Lakeland Orchard.

Penn East is always happy to boost financial education in and out of the classroom!

Member Update: The front door to our 7th Ave Branch is finally open! As a reminder, the drive-thru lanes are limited due to ongoing construction. All services remain available at our 7th Ave Branch.

We are sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience!

7th Ave is getting a face lift!
Starting Monday, May 18th, there will be construction crews working on our 7th Ave Branch's exterior. The front entrance will be closed for at least three days; Penn East will post signs to guide members to the alternate entrance at the rear of the branch when trying to access the lobby!

On May 26th, 7th Ave's drive-thru will operate one lane due to construction. All services will remain available, and the branch will operate at normal hours.

We are sorry for any inconvenience, and we thank you for your patience!

Last Saturday, a group of Penn East volunteers and friends (which some were four-legged!) participated in the NEPA American Cancer Society's fundraising initiative, Climb to End Cancer!

This event supports new medical research opportunities, patient programs and advocates for the ACS's 24/7 helpline for families and friends facing cancer. The group hiked 3 miles to the summit of Big Pocono State Park.

Way to go Penn East!
