What We Do

Greater Philadelphia Cares mobilizes over 15,000 volunteers to take part in a wide variety of flexibly scheduled projects that have a dramatic impact on the lives of residents in need. Each month, Greater Philadelphia Cares offers over 100 flexible, diverse service opportunities, as well as customized service projects for civic and corporate groups. Volunteers serve individually or with their friends, families, or co-workers.

Most projects take place outside traditional work hours - and Greater Philadelphia Cares requires no training process, only a one-hour orientation. People with busy schedules can still find the time to tutor children, feed the hungry, assist people living with disabilities, revitalize gardens, help bridge the digital divide, visit the elderly, and participate in many other hands-on activities designed and managed by Greater Philadelphia Cares. As a Greater Philadelphia Cares volunteer, you can serve once a week, once a month, or from time to time.

Here are the 11 counties we cover, which are referred to as the Greater Philadelphia region:
