2020 was a year like no other! Our most vulnerable neighbors were the most at-risk and found  themselves isolated at home to stay safe and be well. Through the generosity of people like you, Berks Encore’s programs and services are helping thousands of Berks County’s older adults, through COVID and beyond!

We have been able to:

• continue critical operations so no senior goes hungry!
• reopen centers for fitness, takeout lunches, and socialization.
• relocate two of our six senior centers for more space and flexibility of programming.
• provide health & wellness programs virtually so some seniors can participate in the comfort of their own homes.
• continue grocery shopping for those who cannot get to a store for food & household supplies.
• provide Medicare counseling to over 1000 individuals by phone, zoom and face to face.
• launch a new service to offer planning and support to seniors and their caregivers called Berks Encore Care+.

For more information about how we have been serving the community during the pandemic, check out our 2020 Community Impact Report.

It may seem like life was put on pause, but our mission could not be put on hold. As more vaccines become available and we begin to get back to some idea of ‘normal’, we continue to forge ahead.
