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
