Ring, Ring! It’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Check-In!
For the next few weeks, we are going to remind you what makes Penn's Village special—it's the community of care YOU have all built. Our volunteers have signed up not just to help but because they want to be part of a community that looks out for one another. Below are just a few of the ways we can connect you with a neighbor who has offered to lend a hand. If you are eligible for services, don’t hesitate to call or email us with a request—be as descriptive as possible so we can find the best match for you. And if you’re a volunteer, might you consider expanding the ways you’re willing to help? There are so many ways to make a difference!
Some days, you just want to hear a friendly voice. Whether you’d like a social call once a week or a few times a week, our volunteers are happy to chat, share stories, and check in with you. While our volunteers do not provide daily welfare check-ins or emergency follow-ups, they are here to offer companionship and conversation. If you’d like to receive a friendly call or visit, let us know—we’ll find you the perfect conversational companion.
Service Reminders:
● Villagers can receive up to three services per week (more under special circumstances).
● Neighbors can try out services twice a year—often for tech help or an appointment escort.
● While we fill most requests, some may take time to match with a volunteer, and occasionally, we may be unable to fulfill a request. We work hard to fill about 95% of requests.
● Volunteers assist in ways a friendly neighbor might. If a request is beyond our scope, we may suggest a professional from our provider/resource list.
This is your reminder that you belong to a community that values every member and believes in supporting each other at all stages. Call the office at 215-925-7333 or email info@pennsvillage.org to tell us how we can find the right connection for you today. |
