Mission<br />
The mission of the <strong>Philadelphia</strong> <strong>Senior</strong> <strong>Center</strong> (PSC) is to assist<br />
people in meeting their basic needs <strong>and</strong> enhancing their quality of<br />
life. PSC assists older adults in optimizing their functional ability <strong>and</strong><br />
provides them with opportunities for active involvement, helping<br />
to prevent isolation <strong>and</strong> dependence. PSC also seeks to improve<br />
conditions for those older adults who are impoverished. PSC provides<br />
leadership in advocating on issues affecting the lives of older adults.<br />
Why we need your support?<br />
PSC helps thous<strong>and</strong>s of people, age 55+, each year by creating<br />
opportunities <strong>and</strong> providing resources to live healthy, active lives<br />
while remaining independent in their homes <strong>and</strong> community. With<br />
the help of nearly 200 volunteers, PSC serves 1,000 elderly people<br />
a week through its main branch, as well as the <strong>Coffee</strong> <strong>Cup</strong> satellite<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Tioga branch. Almost 70,000 meals are served annually<br />
in the dining rooms, while upwards of 80 classes <strong>and</strong> activities are<br />
conducted weekly. Nearly 2,200 homebound persons also receive<br />
care from our social services team, while hundreds who live in<br />
senior housing are aided by our outreach <strong>and</strong> homemaker services.<br />
Specialized services offered or provided include housing assistance,<br />
legal aid, tax preparation, counseling, <strong>and</strong> financial management<br />
services. Program activities help participants speak new languages;<br />
learn about computers; discuss history <strong>and</strong> government; perform<br />
live on stage; create a sculpture; learn new dance steps; travel to<br />
new places; <strong>and</strong> more.<br />
Contributions to the “4th <strong>Coffee</strong> <strong>Cup</strong> <strong>Exhibition</strong>” support these<br />
activities, as well as the intangible benefits PSC provides – leadership,<br />
volunteerism <strong>and</strong> companionship. Over a cup of coffee, in advisory<br />
council meetings, on a bus trip, during a class…Members are<br />
developing new skills; Members are experiencing personal growth;<br />
Members are building support systems; Members are giving back<br />
to the community; Members are developing a community.<br />
Your support of our work helps make all of this possible for<br />
thous<strong>and</strong>s of seniors <strong>and</strong> their families each year - <strong>and</strong> hundreds<br />
of thous<strong>and</strong>s of seniors <strong>and</strong> their families since 1949.<br />
Please join us in person or by making a contribution.<br />
