Welcome to the Resources Guide
Our Resource Guides is growing and changing as we receive your feedback. Please send us your feedback at elders@waygay.org or call us at (215) 720-9415 with new resources or comments on resources that are listed in our Guides. More resources and categories will be added in the future with your input.
We also ask that you inform us about other resources that you think are LGBT-friendly. New resources that you recommend can be in one of the categories already listed on the site, or in another category altogether. The information that you provide will be shared with other people just like you.
This William Way Senior Resource Guide will grow and change with your input, so please keep us informed. THANK YOU!
