“I’ve been delivering packages for two years now and I wouldn’t miss it for anything. DOROT is a very welcoming community. Volunteering is fun and easy.” – Mohab (Package Delivery Volunteer)
DOROT’s 9/11 Day of Service Package Delivery brings hundreds of older adults and volunteers together to share warmth and companionship.
This September, volunteer to deliver a package of treats and share a friendly phone call or visit with an older adult in the community.
Join volunteers from across the country in commemorating 9/11 through communal service. By giving a little of your time, you can make a big impact!
“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)

I love this idea. I am alone, isolated, forgotten in North Carolina. I reached out to DOROT when going through a really painful time solo.
Yes. DOROT was willing!
I’d love to bring this wonderful NY-idea to more states…especially the poorest, as NC.
Across the USA there is too much isolation & elder abuse .
Very very serious discrimination & neglect. Deadly.
DOROT gives everyone meaningful LIFE & LOVE &
COMMUNITY again!
Thank YOU! ❤️🫂👣👣
