Community Contributions

Pennswood Village's Contributions to our local community

• In 2000 Pennswood, as part of our redevelopment and expansion plans, entered into a partnership with Middletown Township to address local traffic safety and regional storm water management issues. As part of our support of the township, we dedicated 13 acres of our land, valued at more than 1.3 million dollars, to the Regional Storm Water Management System. This management system will serve the community for decades to come. (See the Conservation section of the Web site for more information.)
• Pennswood has provided meals, more that 50 volunteers and office space for the Woodside Meals on Wheels program since 1980. Our dedicated Dining Services staff makes the meals using the same high-quality menu we serve our Pennswood Village residents. Pennswood contributes 10,300 meals, 3,100 snacks, and 9,600 beverages a year to this program.
• Pennswood is one of the Bucks County's largest employers. We employ more than 400 highly skilled caregivers and support staff. Our goal is to provide competitive salaries, a respectful work environment, as well as good medical insurance and retirement benefits.
• Pennswood opens its doors to 24 non-profit organizations that use our community rooms for their meetings. Please contact us at 215-504-1129 if your organization is interested in holding meetings on our campus.
• Residents continue to contribute their time and efforts to their communities even after they move to Pennswood. In 2007, our residents volunteered 30,000 hours to churches, hospitals, schools, arts and culture, interracial and peace centers, museums, day care, historical societies, libraries, garden clubs, Hospice, prisons and other groups.
