We are fortunate to live in a county with so many excellent organizations and programs dedicated to helping our residents. Delaware County offers resources for food, healthcare, housing, employment, mental health and recovery, older adults, veterans, families, and many other needs.

Unfortunately, we hear too often that many people do not know these resources are available—or how to reach them. Please help us share this information—you never know who may need it.
