You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.
Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Rittenhouse Square.
Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

The Philadelphia Senior Center on the Avenue of the Arts is operated by NewCourtland as a community hub for adults age 55 and older. Members can enjoy a free daily continental breakfast and a hot, nutritionally balanced congregate lunch served weekdays in the dining room (with reserved seating for frail or disabled older adults during the first part of each seating). Programming for members includes pinochle, crochet, bingo, line dancing, ceramics, chair yoga, storytelling, and other recreational and educational activities. The center also hosts seasonal programs such as the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables distributed weekdays in July) and periodic workshops on scam prevention, wills and estate planning, and affordable housing resources. A grab-and-go lunch option is offered on Thursdays for individuals who prefer not to dine in. The site does NOT provide home-delivered meals; home-delivered meals in Philadelphia are handled through the Philadelphia Corporation for the Aging's Home-Delivered Meals program.

Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.
