Apply for Meals
Becoming a client friend means weekly meals, groceries, and a volunteer who visits. It starts with one conversation.
Eligibility
Who we can serve
We serve homebound neighbors across Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties — most often seniors, veterans, and adults with disabilities or serious illness who cannot easily shop or cook for themselves.
There is no fee and no income documentation. Becoming a client friend and applying for meals are the same process: the application below starts it, and a staff member follows up to confirm what you need.
- Live in one of the five counties we serve
- Difficulty leaving home, shopping, or preparing meals
- Willing to receive a weekly delivery and visit
- Applications accepted from you, a family member, or a professional
