Caring for Friends' (formerly known as Aid For Friends) mission is to provide free meals and friendly visiting for frail elderly and disabled homebound persons and provide food for needy families and the homeless in the 5 county Greater Philadelphia area. 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.
