CHESTER, PA — An exciting day awaits seniors in Chester and Delaware Counties as State Senator John I. Kane and State Representative Carol Kazeem gear up to host the much-anticipated Senior Expo. Slated for Thursday, April 11th, 2024, this event is a golden opportunity for seniors to explore a wealth of resources designed to enrich their lives. The Upper Chichester Township Municipal Complex, located at 8500 Furey Rd, Upper Chichester, PA, will be the bustling hub from 10 am to 1 pm where admission is entirely free for all seniors.

In what promises to be a vibrant gathering, attendees can look forward to a light lunch and snacks, participate in giveaways, and immerse themselves in an environment brimming with positivity and support. The expo aims to bridge the gap between seniors and critical resources by inviting organizations such as COSA, Legal Aid, SEPTA, PennDOT, Highmark, PA Treasury (for unclaimed property), IBX, and many more. These entities play a pivotal role in providing indispensable assistance across various aspects of senior living.

Senator Kane and Representative Kazeem expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “This is a great opportunity to connect our seniors with essential resources and assistance organizations. Our goal is to empower our seniors, ensuring they have access to the services they need and deserve, and have a fun time doing it.”

The expo isn’t just about connecting seniors with resources; it’s also about prioritizing their health and well-being. Attendees will have access to vaccinations and blood pressure checks, ensuring that everyone leaves not just informed but also healthier. Additionally, the Delaware County District Attorney’s office will provide a medication drop-off box, making it convenient for seniors to dispose of unused or expired medicines safely.
