Perry Valley Grange most recently prepared the food for a benefit Valentine's Gala Dinner sponsored by the Perry County Historical Society to provide funds for the continued maintenance of the historic Cochran-Anspach House in Millerstown. When this property was bequeathed to the Society some years ago, the Grange sponsored a Christmas homes' tour in the area that raised the money to restore one of the rooms in the house.

The 2024 New Year's Pork & Sauerkraut Dinner was another big success. Close to 150 take-out meals were served and a profit of about $1,500 was realized. These funds will be used to meet the Grange's $3,000 commitment to a benefit for the Millerstown Community Park later in the year.
