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.

Our volunteers are truly unsung heroes. Volunteers provide a variety of services including packing and delivering meals, grocery shopping, friendly visits & phone calls, preparing the monthly newsletter or other services at our centers, during events, and in our office. They are an essential part of bringing aging services to Berks County’s residents.

Right now, we have an immediate need for help to deliver Meals on Wheels – especially from our Reading Center, Mifflin Center and Douglassville Center. We want to ensure that seniors in Berks County get the help they need! If you can provide as little as one hour a month, click here for the volunteer application or call Rita at 610-374-3195 ext. 225 to find out more.
