Need help paying rent, utilities, or buying food?
Are you struggling with an unexpected financial or life challenge? If you are struggling to pay rent, utility bills, or afford basic needs, T&E Care may be able to help.
T&E Care provides short-term urgent assistance to residents of Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships in Berwyn, Devon, Paoli, and parts of Wayne.
Our goal is to help neghbors facing temporary hardship. T&E Care is not a source of ongoing financial support.
Before requesting assistance:
For rent help – call 211 or visit pa211.org first – this government program can often provide greater assistance than T&E Care can
For PECO help – check with the PECO Customer Relief Fund to apply – this is on a first-come, first-served basis
Utilities help – if you qualify for food stamps, you will likely qualify for LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program) support. The LIHEAP season is open December 3, 2025 through April 10, 2026.
Other types of help – visit our Resources Page for additional support options
