Welcome to Oxford Neighborhood Services Center

​

When poverty and crisis leave you feeling hopeless, where can you turn? The Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center (NSC) offers a lifeline. Call (610) 932-8557 or stop by the office at 35 3rd Street in Oxford for practical help: food, supplies, resources, connections, referrals, translations, life skills, direction, and guidance. NSC can help you live your life again.

​

NSC is a crisis responder, helping individuals and families recover, stabilize their affairs, and gain the tools and resources for self-determination and confidence. They believe people can learn, change, and grow when they feel safe. This, in turn, strengthens the entire Oxford community, creating an extended family where everyone thrives.

​

Addressing the Root of the Problem:

NSC recognizes that most people are just one emergency away from homelessness. A missed payment, a lost car, or a job loss can trigger devastating consequences, forcing individuals to choose between necessities like food and medicine. NSC provides a safety net, understanding that stability is essential for growth and positive change.

​

Comprehensive Support:

Partnering with the Chester County Food Bank and funded in part by the United Way of Southern Chester County, private foundations, and individual donors, NSC operates an emergency food pantry for Southern Chester County. Donations from individuals, churches, and community groups ensure they can provide canned goods, non-perishable items, diapers, personal care products, household supplies, and paper products.

​

NSC's Information and Referral Program connects people with vital health and human services. Case managers assess needs, provide information and referrals to community resources, and follow up to ensure those services are received. For pre-screened, income-eligible individuals, NSC offers direct financial assistance for basic needs like housing, utilities, and healthcare.

​

To What End?

NSC empowers those in crisis to develop the skills and confidence to build the life they want, knowing NSC is always there for them. Help create a community where all residents have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential.
