Service Projects for 2011 QYLC
Philabundance
Philabundance is the region’s largest hunger relief organization. In 2009, we acquired 21 million pounds of food, distributing 17 million pounds across the Delaware Valley and exporting 4 million pounds to assist other area food banks.
We serve low-income residents at risk of hunger and malnutrition, of which 23% are children and 16% are senior citizens. We get food directly into the communities though our direct services programs or through our network of agencies. These agencies include food cupboards, neighborhood distributions, shelters, emergency kitchens and various social service agencies. Philabundance provides a reliable source of food to 9 counties in the Delaware Valley. From www.philabundance.org
Aid For Friends
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.

Sanders House
Saunders House is a leader in providing long-term care and rehabilitative services, involving community-based education and research-directed programs for the physical and emotional well-being of its residents.
We are a long-term care center in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. Located adjacent to Lankenau Hospital, we offer 180 skilled nursing beds and additional independent living accommodations.
As a non-profit organization, Saunders House has an enduring commitment to older adults that stems from our philanthropic mission rather than a drive for revenue. We focus all our resources on the care and comfort of our residents.
