Parkside Annual Appeal

Our Annual Appeal

Without faithful Parkside residents like you, the work we do would not be possible. For those of you who have generously completed community service, come out in support of our events, and financially contributed, we are so grateful.

If you've enjoyed our many community events and campaigns, sent your children to our Summer Arts Camp, or if you simply appreciate being a part of a community that cares for its neighbors, please consider making a tax-deductible gift to the PCA.

Become a PCA Member!

If you appreciate what we do, please consider joining. Already a member? Share our efforts and events with your family, friends, and neighbors!

Dash's Tape Saver Program

Your nearest Dash's Market | 1770 Hertel Ave. Buffalo, NY 14216

1. Every time you shop at Dash's Market, please save your receipt.

2. Turn original receipts into the PCA office, 2318 Main Street (near the corner of W. Oakwood), anytime (drop in our mail slot!) and we will submit them to Dash's office for a cash back.

There are no increased premiums, no sign up forms, no fees, no new key tags. Simply drop off your receipts. We will take care of the rest. 

Payroll Deductions

The Parkside Community Association participates in SEFA, TRUIST, and United Way payroll deduction programs. These programs allow you to give generously with pre-tax income, so both you, and the PCA benefit. Reach out to your employer to make a charitable contribution.

Additionally, often times employers will match charitable contributions to not-for-profits such as the PCA. Inquire with your employer to see if they will give a donation along side your own.

SimpleFund App

SimpleFund is a fundraising technology platform designed to allow you to raise money by doing things you already do: Reading Articles, Installing Mobile Applications, Watching Videos and Taking Surveys. Every time you complete one of these actions, you can raise money for the PCA. That's it!  Download the application for your mobile device:
