We continue to offer weekly frozen meals
provided by 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 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. Meals must be ordered by noon on Tuesday for the following week.
Five frozen meals will be available to be picked up at the senior center between 11am and noon every Tuesday. Click here for March’s meal menu.
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.
Annual Appeal Fund Drive
We wish to thank each and every one of you who contributed to our Annual Fund Drive. We reached our goal of $12,000 which will greatly assist us in providing the much-needed vital services to our senior community. See our Donate page for more information.
Income Tax Preparation
Unfortunately AARP Income Tax Assistance will not be available at our senior center this year. Please read the article on page 7, 9 & 10 of the newsletter or click here regarding assistance with income tax preparation!
Interested in getting the COVID-19 Vaccine?
With limited vaccine availability across all providers in Chester County, appointments will open up slowly as additional vaccine arrives to expand availability to the additional 1A groups. The updated vaccine interest survey is available on CCHD's website. Individuals can sign up there to receive updates when more appointments are available. GO TO: www.chesco.org/health, and locate the COVID-19 Vaccine Information page, then click on Chester County COVID Vaccine Pre-Registration, complete the Survey Form, and click on Submit when completed. The CCHD is extremely overwhelmed at this time but will call individuals back as soon as possible. If you have questions, please call us at the senior center. See our COVID-19 page for information.
Please continue to be safe!
