Penn's Village has a growing menu of services, all member-driven. Members' needs determine the services available. No need or desire is too small or too large.

Our goal is to be a "Volunteer First" organization. Carefully screened volunteers provide many of Penn's Village services at no additional cost to our members. If a volunteer is not available, arrangements can be made for services to be provided by carefully vetted providers. Services will be provided by these providers often at specially negotiated rates. Members may opt to receive services solely through providers or decline services when a volunteer is not available.. "Our member's wish is our priority."
  
Services we provide but are not limited to:

• ONE PHONE NUMBER for access to a wide variety of services and activities: 215.925.7333
• The highest level of Customer Service
• A monthly Calendar of Activities
• A periodic newsletter

Plus:
 
Transportation
Individual and group rides to the grocery store, doctor's office, airport, friend’s home, cultural events and other local destinations.

Penn's Village Meals
If preparing nutritious meals has become a burden or chore, Penn's Village can deliver high-quality, visually appealing foods prepared from the freshest ingredients.  Menu items range from heart healthy comfort foods such as turkey meatloaf to sophisticated dishes such as teriyaki salmon with ginger.  Volunteers will deliver freshly prepared meals to your home once a week. These meals can be consumed immediately, refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for another time. Nutritionists oversee the preparation of each meal and can work with Penn's Village to accommodate our members specific medical dietary needs.  We can also accommodate several personal and religious preferences such as no pork, seafood or beef.  For members with chewing or swallowing issues, dental soft or pureed meals are available.  Delivery of meals is included in the membership fee; however, cost of food is not.  See this week's meal options and review pricing »

Preferred Service PROVIDERS

When volunteers are unavailable or when a member prefers a using a preferred service provider, Penn's Village will make arrangements for services to be provided by one of our preferred service providers.  Many providers offer Penn's Village members specially negotiated rates.  Vetted Service Providers include appliance repair, plumbers, electricians, contractors, handymen, gardeners, pet caretakers, home health nursing agencies, personal care agencies and hospice.

As members ask for services for which we do not have a preferred service provider, we select a new one based on thoughtful vetting.
