Are you or someone you know in need of food?

Here at the Oxford Area Senior Center we have several food options available.

One option is a daily hot meal served here daily, Monday thru Friday at 12pm. Second option is two Senior Food Box Programs. The first is the Chester County Senior Food Box Program (CCSFBP) with the Chester County Food Bank. The second is the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) with the Share Food Program. These programs are income based and require registration. Other supplemental foods come from the weekly delivery of produce from the Chester County Food Bank every Monday (except Holidays) and bread/baked goods that we pick up from Giant (Jennersville) every Wednesday. Below is a complete description of each.
