A Case Manager guides and supports both singles and families, of all ages, making a positive impact while assisting with life’s challenges. The Case Manager assists households in getting life’s basic necessities, as well as some important extras such as back-to-school supplies, Easter baskets, and Christmas gifts.
Our Community exists to help people get through the rough patches — to provide food to those who do not currently have the financial means to meet their nutritional needs. Anyone in need of food assistance who resides in our service area (the Boyertown Area School District plus the townships of Hereford, District, Pike, Oley, and Amity) is eligible for assistance from this program.
Our pantry is open Monday-Friday year-round, except for holidays. We meet with individuals and families by appointment each day to protect privacy and ensure confidentiality. By meeting with households one-on-one, our case managers are also able to make recommendations about other social services that may be helpful in meeting the specific needs of each household. In providing for their nutritional needs, we enable them to focus their energies on doing what they need to do to get their lives moving in a better direction
Call Multi-Service at 610-367-6957 to request an appointment for food assistance

The CARIE LINE is a free telephone and online, one-on-one service that assists older adults and their caregivers in identifying and accessing needed services and supports.

- Health care
- Health insurance coverage, including Medicare and Medicaid
- Nutritional support
- Long-term care services, including residential and home- and community-based long-term care
- Transportation
- Abuse and neglect
- Financial insecurity
- Housing issues
- And more
Requests for help come from older adults, their families, and neighbors, as well as from social workers and other community service professionals who depend upon the CARIE LINE for a prompt, caring, and reliable response.
Through education and outreach programs, CARIE LINE Advocates empower older adults and other community members with information and skills to advocate effectively on their behalf on a wide variety of issues.
To contact the CARIE LINE about an issue affecting an older adult, call 215-545-5728 or 1-800-356-3606, Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
