The counselors can also assist seniors wanting to apply for food stamps and emergency weatherization assistance. |
Meal Delivery | (215) 765- 9040 | The program delivers nutritious meals to homebound seniors aged 65 and over who are no longer able to prepare a meal for themselves. The meals are designed to provide a third of the daily nutritional requirements for seniors.

The drivers are trained to provide regular and caring contact to the seniors. All meals are free of charge, but donations are appreciated. |
SEPTA Transportation | Not Listed | The SEPTA bus, subway and rail system options are all free for seniors aged 65 and older.
