PS Bank Contributes to Deutsch Institute’s Robinson Park Project

PS Bank recently donated $1,500 to the Deutsch Institute to assist with its efforts to bring their headquarters to a building within Robinson Park in Scranton.

Once completed, the community building will be used to provide recreational and wellness programming to people with disabilities and the surrounding community. Located on the city’s east mountain, Robinson Park is the second largest park in Scranton.

Established in 1979, the Deutsch Institute provides a variety of events, activities, and outings to enrich the lives of persons with special needs and other barriers. The new space will not only house the Deutsch Institute administrative offices, but will also contain space to host events, activities, and recreational gatherings. The distinct A-frame building includes a large kitchen to facilitate healthy eating sessions or cooking classes; as well as a multimedia room that could allow for movie nights, exercise classes, or crafting.

Chris von Ahnen, Deutsch Institute Executive Director, expressed his gratitude for the donation at a recent check presentation. “The Deutsch Institute is thankful for this donation as it will allow us to continue renovating Robinson Park, creating a safe and inclusive environment,” he said.

With PS Bank’s newest office in North Scranton, this donation to the Deutsch Institute is another way the bank is contributing to progressive projects in the city.

PS Bank is a full-service financial institution with branches throughout Northeastern and North Central Pennsylvania.
