(Philadelphia – June 1, 2020)– Seniors who live at the Philadelphia Housing Authority’s (PHA) Mount Olivet development in West Philadelphia are weathering the pandemic, thanks to the action of TruCare, one of the agency’s partners.
The senior home care provider provides workshops to PHA seniors about health and wellness. With the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, they offered to provide supplies that seniors might otherwise go without or have to leave their residences to buy. The firm offered to provide items such as masks, food donations, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, and paper towels. TruCare dropped them off this past Thursday.
“We are very grateful when someone goes the extra mile to serve our seniors,” said PHA President and CEO Kelvin A. Jeremiah. “These folks are most vulnerable during the pandemic and the less they have to travel for goods and services, the better. Having the proper nourishment is important to maintaining their health, as well as having the materials to clean surfaces where the virus might attach itself.”
