Food, housing, clothing, and other essential assistance

Community Resources

Times are uncertain, so we’ve compiled community resources to support you and your family. In an effort to support individuals and families who may be uncertain about where to turn during unpredictable times, the staff at the Delaware County District Library have compiled two lists of local community resources.

One list provides contact information and locations for low- and no-cost services offering food, housing, clothing, and other essential assistance. The second list focuses specifically on food pantries and community meals available in Delaware County and surrounding areas.
