| Welcome to Penn's Village
We are Philadelphia Center City
residents of all ages, working together to support our neighbors who
wish to remain in their own homes as they age or have special needs.
By linking neighbor to neighbor we
provide services such as transportation and assistance with chores, and
make referrals to carefully screened neighborhood providers such as
plumbers, electricians and personal care helpers.
Our educational and social programs
keep us informed and connected so that we are able to enjoy our vibrant
urban setting to the fullest extent possible.

Appreciating Our Volunteers
|
|
Volunteers are at the very heart of
Penns Village. Read about our March 19 get-together and our featured volunteer, Bob Kay.
Whether volunteers
have direct contact with members or assist behind the scenes, they
enhance the work of Penn’s Village and thus strengthen our community. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities to suit different
interests,
skills, talents and schedules.

Join Us
Neighbors join Penn's Village as social members or villagers, and as volunteers. All receive
Penn’s Village updates and newsletters, attend educational, cultural
and social events and can be referred to a fully vetted preferred
service provider upon request. Social memberships are fully tax
deductible. Villagers also have access to services provided by
volunteers. We have a wide range of fulfilling volunteer opportunities.
Although we encourage volunteers to become members, this is not a
requirement.

A Penn's Village member tells us: "“Penn's
Village has made my life easier and more secure in ways large and
small: Volunteers provide transportation to medical appointments and
help with grocery shopping and household tasks such as assembling my new
vacuum cleaner. Also, at long last, I have a reliable computer techie.”
. . . and a Penn's Village volunteer shares her thoughts": “I
enjoy facilitating our caregiver support group because I appreciate the
honesty and caring shown by members who did not know one another
before. They share information and experiences to help each other. As a
social worker, I am so pleased to be part of a program where neighbors
form a supportive community.”
