PRSSA Gives Back - PB&J

One of the many things added to PRSSA’s game plan this year. 
​

​Following our last meeting, the executive board along with its chapter’s members made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless. Members made over 40 sandwiches. PRSSA provided all the supplies and Patrick Fernandez, outreach liaison, delivered them to Bailey’s Crossroads Community Shelter in Falls Church the next day.
 
“This is great,” said Mario Wright, supervisor of residential and hypothermia services, Bailey’s Crossroads Community Shelter. “We are going to give these to the kids and I know they will love it.”
 
Helping members develop their professional skillsets is always a goal for PRSSA, but this year we added another element to the PRSSA game plan; providing for others and raising awareness of key issues within our community.
 
“This year we wanted to focus on giving back to the community more than we had in previous years,” said Logan Rice, president of PRSSA. “We want our chapter to not only impact Mason students but also our community. Giving back to Bailey’s aligns with PRSSA’s key objective – helping people.”
 
PRSSA will host a canned food drive later this month as well as participating in the Greater Washington Heart Walk to spread awareness of cardiovascular disease, Nov.7, in Washington D.C.
 
We look forward to what is to come when it comes to our outreach and encourage you to join the fun! If you want to get involved with anything that we are participating in, contact Patrick Fernandez via email at patrickfernandez314@gmail.com.
