Community Resources

What's Already Being Done?

• Upper Chichester Township, Community Action Agency of Delaware County, and the Upper Chichester Library are all great places to find a wide variety of resources available to all of our residents. Each maintains a social media presence and uses various communication channels to communicate resources available.

• Upper Chichester Township is served by Representatives in the State and Federal Government. These Representatives often schedule programming in the community or surrounding communities to share important information about resources available to all.

• Working with the Chichester Rotary Club and the Chichester Business Association, Upper Chichester Township has an established program named Helping Hands. This program was designed to assist Senior Citizens in the community who are having trouble keeping up with the maintenance of their homes and property.

• Upper Chichester Township Police Department is a Police Force with officers who are highly skilled in getting residents the resources needed. Often,n all levels of officers, even the Chief of Police, go out on wellness checks for residents who may be in need.

What We Have To Say?

• Neighbors expressed a desire for a centralized location (both physical and electronic location) to get information about current events/happenings within the Township, as well as information about resources that are available for residents of all ages.

• When speaking with seniors throughout the Township a common theme that came up again and again was the need to support seniors who are unable to physically or financially maintain or do regular upkeep to their properties (such as cutting grass, weeding, maintenance of the exterior of their homes and properties).

What's Next?

• Establish or identify group(s) to provide assistance for seniors for maintenance and upkeep tasks.

• Promote the Historical Society to enhance community awareness and involvement in the history and culture of the area.

• Produce a newsletter and/or communication vehicle to highlight community resources and events, and publish and maintain a yearly calendar of events as needed.

• Establish a Senior Citizen Resource Organization to connect seniors to more activities, health services, and educational services for seniors.

• Establish a centralized clearinghouse of information for all events, programs, and projects for strong and open communication.
