Your support is vital...

In helping us to enrich the lives and preserve the dignity of our city’s seniors. Thanks to the charitable giving of people like you, PCA will continue to provide quality programs and services to older Philadelphians in need. Please give what you can. 100% of your donation goes directly to helping seniors in need. 

The following are funds to which you can donate.

Philly Meals On Wheels
Meal programs for the elderly strive to meet the local need, serving over 2,500 homebound older Philadelphians each day. Monies raised are used to support smaller, volunteer-based meal organizations in Philadelphia, therefore helping to build capacity to meet the growing need.

The Emergency Fund
PCA administers the Emergency Fund which was established in 1981 and is guided by a coalition of 20 community-based organizations and service providers.

Private Funds for Pressing Needs
PCA receives government funds which are restricted to supporting specific programs. At times, Philadelphia seniors experience crucial needs - for food, home heating fuel, medical supplies and other urgent necessities that these programs cannot satisfy. To address these needs, PCA raises money from private sources - foundations, companies and individuals.
 
Our fundraising efforts support the Emergency Fund and Philly Meals on Wheels and we seek special grants to help the agency broaden its programs and develop research initiatives. 

The official registration and financial information of Philadelphia Corporation for Aging may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.
