In Pennsylvania, more than 1 in 4 seniors live alone, 8% live in poverty, and 30% live with a disability. Meals on Wheels delivers 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 the peace of mind a daily visitor can offer, please click here for eligibility requirements and information to register.

Nice and clean. Friendly staff.
I love to go and meet people and run into people I know. I also love to chat, socialize and see what is going on.
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!
Very good place for us old heads to hang out of harm’s way.
Drivers are great and go out of their way to deliver meals.

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.
This is a great organization for people over 55. Meals on Wheels are so welcome. THANKS!
