Philly Meals on Wheels

 
PhillyMeals on Wheels Corporate Dineout
Click here for details of the 12th Annual Celebration of Philly Meals on Wheels Corporate Dineout Gala Reception 

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 facts speak for themselves; the need is great, and even a small donation goes a long way towards helping older Philadelphians: 

  • More than 20,000 older Philadelphians need help preparing meals.
  • $1,000 delivers a daily meal to a senior for a full year.
  • $500 provides a daily meal to six people for an entire month.
  • $150  provides weekend meals to one person for half a year
  • $30 provides ten meals

The following community-based programs received funds from PCA’s Philly Meals on Wheels fundraising campaign in 2007:

Aid for Friends
Kosher Meals on Wheels Inc
Cook for a Friend Program
Kosher Meals on Wheels North and Northeast
Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels
Little Brothers, Friends of the Elderly
