Volunteers have stepped up during COVID to deliver packages of needed supplies and warm connections with seniors across the city.
Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, more than 800 packages and calls have been made to seniors across the city over Rosh Hashanah, Thanksgiving and Winter Package Delivery during COVID.
Hear from seniors in their own words:
"I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your effort in everything you do. I love DOROT. I used to deliver myself! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." - Jo M.
"This was the first time in decades I was alone and not with my daughter and her family...Since I don’t have visitors (even before pandemic) often and eat in kitchen or in front of TV in spare room, I thought I might feel lonely at my more formal room. Because I felt “served” with this wonderful meal, I enjoyed the experience and deep gratitude." - Marian L.
"Such a lovely feeling to have someone “reach out” and show an interest. Thank you, DOROT!...In such a huge city - many of the elderly probably would get “lost” but with DOROT’s action this is minimized." - Marcia & Fred S.
"Thank you so much, I'd like to thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. [The DOROT volunteer] delivered it with such sweetness and kindness that I will always remember this day. Thank you thank you thank you." – Deborah P.
