Aid For Friends Mission Statement
Aid For Friends' mission is to serve needy,
isolated shut-ins, primarily the frail elderly, in the 5 county Greater
Philadelphia area, with free daily home-cooked meals delivered weekly
by empathetic volunteer visitors, and also to provide shut-ins with
free out reach services. The goal is to help our homebound
"client/friends" maintain their cherished independence by supporting
their determination to remain in their own homes for as long as
possible and to enhance their quality of life.

LOOKING
FOR VOLUNTEER OR DONOR
OPPORTUNITIES?
Could you
help provide
support for our Program Expenses? In 38
years, Aid For Friends has provided 14 million free daily home
cooked
nutritious dinners, weekly compassionate visiting, supplemental food
and
ancillary outreach services to an aggregate total of 12 thousand needy,
disabled
isolated frail elderly homebound.
We
have provided all of these meals and services at NO COST NOT
EVEN ONE PENNY
EVER to the shut-ins who have become part of the "Aid For Friends
Family". Even
during this
recession, could you send just $3.00 or $10.00 monthly to help pay for
Aid For
Friends program expenses or whatever you can give without
hardship? We
currently serve 2100 shut-ins
who have no choice
but to depend on Aid
For Friends for their daily nutritional needs.
Our
donations, of course, have substantially
decreased because of the
economy, BUT if some of you are able to send a donation no
matter how small
I assure you there is no worthier charity than Aid For Friends Frail
Elderly
Outreach Center. If any of
you
might possibly be in a position to donate a larger amount, or even a
Grant, and
wish to discuss our Program's free outreach, you may call Steven
Schiavone,
Esq., Executive Director.
