In Pennsylvania, more than 1 in 4 seniors live alone, 8% live in poverty, and 30% live with a disability. Meals on Wheels can deliver a nutritious meal, a friendly visit and a safety check which can make all the difference for many at risk seniors who prefer to live in their own home.
If you or someone you know could benefit from home delivery of a daily meal and peace of mind a daily visitor can offer, please click here for eligibility requirements and information to register.

I think it’s important for seniors to have a place to go and chat and feel relevant. If you know an older person who seems like they want to stay shut in, suggest a visit to one of the local centers. They have activities every day and they serve a hot meal. Loneliness is hard enough, this can really be a lifeline. I pack the food in the kitchen one day a week. You’d be surprised how many volunteers it takes to coordinate this on a daily basis. Some days our Center feeds 175 people in the local area. That doesn’t include those folks that eat on site or take out. Berks Encore is always looking for new volunteers! Like you!
I went with a friend to paint scarves. My first time in, and had such a nice time. It’s a nice large area and the people are very nice

The lady who helped my wife and I with our Medicare plan was awesome! She got us better coverage and cheaper prescriptions!
This is a great place for seniors to enjoy food, friendship, recreation, and information programs. Participate in activities as little or as much as you like. I go for conversation, a lunch meal, and to read the newspaper. Others focus on senior fitness, bingo, or what ever.
