DOROT's Thanksgiving Meal Delivery

DOROT
New York, NY

Founded in 1976, DOROT (“generations” in Hebrew) facilitates a dynamic partnership between older adults, volunteers, and professionals through programs designed to combat social isolation and loneliness and bring the generations together. DOROT is dedicated to enhancing the lives of older adults in the Jewish and wider community to help them live more independently as valued community members. Compassion and a commitment to excellence are hallmarks of DOROT’s programs and staff. The agency is a recognized innovative leader in mobilizing volunteers and infusing social work into its service delivery model. Our vast offerings of programs are conducted onsite, in the home, remotely and in the community.

DOROT serves clients on the Upper West Side from 59th to 125th Street, and on the East Side from 14th to 96th Street. DOROT also has a variety of services for older adults in Westchester County

Deliver joy and holiday cheer to older adults through DOROT’s Thanksgiving Meal Delivery!

As a Thanksgiving Meal Delivery volunteer, you can make a meaningful connection with an older neighbor through a social visit or phone call and a festive holiday meal. While holidays can increase feelings of loneliness or isolation, volunteering for Thanksgiving Meal Delivery creates shared connections and community.

The program is called Meal Delivery, but we like to say that it’s really "not about the meal." It’s about the connections you make-for volunteers and package recipients alike.

Here’s How It Works

  • Register!
  • Pick up a package and get matched with an older adult
  • Deliver the package to the home of an older adult
  • Stay for a social visit or follow up with a friendly phone call


What Else to Know?

Who Can Volunteer? DOROT welcomes people of all faiths, backgrounds, and identities as both volunteers and older adult participants. Package Delivery volunteers need to be at least 18 years old.

Can We Volunteer as a Family? Families with children age 10 and older are welcome to volunteer together.

Time Commitment One-time commitment of about 90 minutes.

Requirements Volunteers over the age of 18 must have a valid, US government-issued photo ID and watch a short online orientation.
