We continue to receive phone calls regarding the new meal program developed
by the Chester County Department of Aging. (CCDAS)
See if this offer of nutritious meals interests you!
Weekly Cold and Frozen Meals available thru The Chester County Department of Aging
The Oxford Area Senior Center has been providing area seniors with vital services throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, most importantly offering nutritious “grab and go” weekday meals.
We have provided area senior residents with over 2400+ nutritious meals since we closed our doors on Friday, March 13th. You do not need to be a current participant at the senior center to be eligible to receive meals. You will need to complete a Consumer Information Form providing us and the Department of Aging with some necessary information.
If you are able, a voluntary, confidential, anonymous donation of $2 per meal is suggested to help the CCDAS offset some of the meal costs.
Each week a meal participant is eligible to receive 2 cold meals and 3 frozen meals. These meals are delivered to us every Tuesday and Thursday and available for pick up between 11am and 12pm on those days.
The cold lunch is a box lunch including a sandwich, cold vegetable or vegetable salad, and fruit. The frozen meal is similar to frozen meals you see in the grocery store. I’ve tried both and they are nutritious, tasty, and well-balanced meals.
The delivery we receive on Tuesday consist of one cold meal and one frozen meal, and one quart of milk for each participant who placed an order for meals that week. The Thursday delivery consists of one cold meal and two frozen meals also for each participant who had requested meals that week. That’s a total of 5 meals each week that can be provided.

Our weekly meal order is due to the Department of Aging
by noon of Tuesday for the following week.!!!!!!!!
If you have any questions about the meals or procedure for ordering them, please feel free to contact me. Since we are closed for activities, call the senior center (610-932-5244) and leave a message on my voice mail box or email me directly at jdmcleod@oxfordseniors.org.
Please continue to be safe!
