Quaker Aging Resources

 Philadelphia and New York Yearly Meetings of Friends received grants from the Thomas Scattergood Foundation and Friends Foundation for the Aging to develop resources to assist Meetings in responding to the direct needs of aging Friends. The resources uphold a culture of care and knowledge consistent with Quakerism and include a library of print materials, a website, www.quakeragingresources.org, and programs available for meetings. These resources are available to individuals and Meetings online and through the Yearly Meeting.

We designed the website and materials to support a spiritual journey.  Queries help guide the visitor- helping to crystallize the questions most important to that individual, to lead Friends through a discernment process as they seek to address the following needs:

Emotional /Behavioral Care   
Meaningful Retirement           
Death and Dying                                
Physical Health
Housing/Aging in Place
Spiritual/Pastoral Support
Financial Matters
