One of the primary purposes of the Grange today is to provide service to its community.  Perry Valley Grange devotes a large portion of its time, efforts, and resources for an extensive year-round community service program.  Each year 20 or more projects are carried out by Grange with the donation of time, energy and money from members and community volunteers.

Many State and National Grange awards for outstanding community service reports have been received over the years, including the 2009 first place state report and the second place national report.
