Penn's Village is an innovative, non-profit organization created to enhance the quality of lives for residents in Center City Philadelphia neighborhoods. Lives are enhanced through basic services such as grocery shopping, rides to the hospital or doctor’s office, companionship for the lonely, running errands, home repairs, computer support, etc. Penn’s Village was founded two years ago to help meet such needs and to create volunteer service opportunities for all residents.


Penn’s Village has three goals:
-To help those growing older remain in their homes, comfortably and enjoyably, for as long as they’d like
-To provide select services to busy residents as they balance personal and professional responsibilities, and
-To help foster a spirit of neighborliness and community belonging.

Over the past few months, Penn's Village has been asking neighbors "How can we make Penn's Village meet your needs? What can Penn's Village do to become an integral part of our community?" You have told us and we have listened! Penn's Village hopes you like the changes!

Penn's Village Meals
Penn's Village offers home delivered meals to its volunteers and members. This service is for members and volunteers who may find preparing healthy, nutritious meals a challenge or like the convenience of having someone else do it for them! Penn's Village can deliver appetizing, health conscious meals appropriate for any diet restrictions at very reasonable prices. Dinners cost $9-$13, and for an additional $1-$3, dessert will be included. Wraps are $6 and snacks are $3.00. Meals arrive freshly prepared on day of delivery. They can be consumed that day or may be refrigerated for 3-4 days or can be frozen. See this week's meals selection See this week's meal options and review pricing »

Death and Dying: Everything you do and don't want to know!
Death is something each of us will face and yet it is a subject many of us find uncomfortable. Sarah Laughlin, MSW and the Rev. Claire Nevin-Field of St. Peter's Church will lead a frank conversation about how most of us will die, explore some of our own fears and concerns about dying, and examine choices we may have regarding our dying experience and our death.
