Friday Phun Day: Help Us Fight Summer Hunger ❤️

This summer, we need your help to prepare meals for our neighbors.

Hunger doesn’t take the summer off. In fact, it can be even harder. Homebound seniors face isolation and extreme heat, kids lose access to school meals, and many neighbors experiencing homelessness struggle to find consistent food and support.

With your help, we can prepare and deliver 100,000 nutritious meals and waters to neighbors who may not have food, A/C, or someone looking out for them.

May is Older Americans Month, a time to focus on health and independence as we age.

At Caring for Friends, we’re proud to be part of that every day.

For the seniors we serve, staying healthy often depends on having:
→ Consistent, nutritious meals
→ Reliable support at home
→ A connection to their community

That’s what we provide, through food and friendship.

Caring for Friends answered Mayor Cherelle L. Parker's call for an emergency food distribution earlier today at Riverside Correctional Facility (Philadelphia Dept. of Prisons) for the staffers there impacted by YesCare's insolvency and going without pay. Along with other civic leaders and organizations like AFSCME, we came together quickly to get food to people who urgently need it, in the spirit of ONE Philly and neighbors helping neighbors.

We'll always step up and show up for neighbors in need, because no one should be hungry or alone.
