Community Resources
This page provides Delaware County residents with up-to-date information about local, state, and nonprofit resources available to help address food, housing, and financial insecurity.
At a time when many families are facing uncertainty about access to critical federal and state assistance programs—particularly the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—Delaware County is working to help residents navigate these challenges. The County is committed to providing clear guidance, connecting individuals to available services, and ensuring that no resident is left without support during this period of instability.
This page will be updated regularly in the coming days and weeks as new information and resources become available.
10/31 Update! Delaware County Council is Holding a Food Drive on Nov 8
Delaware County Council and the Department of Human Services are organizing a countywide food drive to help support local families facing increased food insecurity amid uncertainty surrounding federal and state assistance programs, including SNAP. The drive will help replenish local food pantries and ensure they can continue meeting the growing demand for nutritious food this fall.
Date: Saturday, November 8
Time: 9 AM – 12 PM
Location: Cardinal O’Hara High School, 1701 South Sproul Road, Springfield
Please note that this is a food collection event, not a food distribution event; all foods collected will later be distributed by food pantries.

Share Food Program
The Share Food Program partners with Delaware County to distribute millions of pounds of nutritious food each year to local food pantries, schools, and senior sites—helping ensure equitable access to healthy meals for residents in need. While Share coordinates many County-supported food pantries, it does not manage or provide information for every pantry operating in Delaware County.
