PFSA Community Involvement

We work together with communities by supporting and promoting Events, Fundraisers and Local Festivals. 

PFSA Impact Since 2010

In January of 2010, 4 Portuguese Fraternal Societies Merged their Operations. While the merger was a challenging endeavor, PFSA became bigger, better and more active, here are some examples of the impact we had in our communities since 2010.

This effort was possible through our amazing members contributions, both in volunteer hours and financial commitments.
