Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Call (215) 468-4056 or email whitmancouncilinc@gmail.com to book an appointment at the office on S 3rd Street..

What to expect

Visits are usually booked ahead, since the office prefers appointments. Staff can help with utility assistance, property tax and rent rebates, and LIHEAP or PACE applications. The site does not list costs for these services.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm, to book a time.
  • Ask about parking and transit when you book, since the site gives no directions for either.
  • The office is on S 3rd Street at the same address listed for the 2025 board meetings.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site says the council helps anyone who asks, and it gives office hours and a phone number to book a visit..
