Fresh Food for Seniors

In partnership with NYC Council Member Gale Brewer, we're excited to offer seniors the opportunity to receive a bag of locally grown produce for $10 (a $15+ value) throughout the growing season in 2024!

With pay-as-you-go pricing, you can enjoy fresh produce at a great value when it’s convenient for you. The produce is ordered by GrowNYC at wholesale prices from farmers in NY, NJ, CT, and PA.

Pay $10, a week in advance of the upcoming pick up date, and your bag will be available between 2:00 - 5:00 PM on pick up day at DOROT.

Sign up is simple: If you're interested in registering for a pick up date, or would like more information, contact our Program Administrator, Abigail Gomez at 917-441-5091 or agomez@dorotusa.org.

  • Delivery time for the bags at DOROT varies. Please wait until we have called or emailed to inform you that the bags are ready for pick up.
