Caring for Friends (formerly known as Aid for Friends) is a Philadelphia-based charity that provides home-cooked meals to our region's homebound, needy, ill and elderly. Meals distributed by St. John's serve our homebound as well as three Chester organizations: St. Katharine Drexel Food Pantry, the Aids Care Group and Catholic Social Services. The need for meals is constant, and grows each year.

To provide dinners, pick up supplies and instructions at any church exit. Prepare, label, wrap and freeze meals as instructed. Return your frozen meals to the Parish House (rectory) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Place the meals on the table in front and ring the doorbell as you depart. We will be out shortly to collect your meals!
