Delaware County
What we do in Delaware
Delaware County pairs dense older boroughs with pockets of deep poverty. Many residents live in walk-up housing where getting to a pantry simply isn't possible.
Our drivers bring food to the door and stay long enough to notice when something has changed — the friendship half of Food + Friendship.
- Home-delivered meals for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities
- Meals and groceries for Delaware County pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens
- Snack bags for outreach teams serving people who are unhoused
- Summer meals for students when school food is unavailable
