2024 Passover Package Delivery and Friendly Chat with Older Adults

DOROT’s Passover Package Deliver brings hundreds of older adults and volunteers together to share warmth and companionship. Volunteers are needed to deliver a thoughtful, seasonal care package and connect with an older neighbor.

"It was a pleasure speaking with the volunteer. It is a comfort having DOROT in our lives. The bag of goodies is a very welcome treat and very much appreciated. DOROT is a blessing for all the people you serve!" - Ruth (DOROT senior)
