Beyond these programs is a full line up of public service announcements airing on a regular basis and addressing a multitude of topical issues such as the right of farm workers to organize and receive overtime pay as well as PSAs urging listeners not to smoke and encouraging parents to enroll their children in early childhood development programs. Many individuals and organizations also use Radio Campesina stations to announce and promote their events.

The radio network also works with local non-profit groups to publicize their activities and drives. It sponsors charitable events, from toys for needy children during the holiday season to disaster relief in response to earthquakes, hurricanes, freezes and floods. Money donated by listeners of the Phoenix station was used to build 15 new houses for victims of one Central American flood.
