Deliver joy and connection to older adults at DOROT’s Rosh Hashanah Package Delivery. Holidays shouldn’t be lonely. This Rosh Hashanah, join us to deliver a holiday package and connect with an older neighbor for a visit or call. Package Delivery is about more than just the package. It’s about building connections and creating community.

Hear what our volunteers have to say about their Package Delivery experiences:

“The conversations and personal connections were the most meaningful part of each visit.”
— Jessie, Package Delivery volunteer

“I was again reminded of how important it is to think outside of ourselves and build
connections… This will be one of my highlights of the holiday season.”
— Stevie, Package Delivery volunteer

Here’s how it works:

  1. Register online at dorotusa.org/roshhashanah (by September 11).
  2. Pick up a package of holiday goodies and get matched with an older adult.
  3. Deliver the package to the older adult.
  4. Stay and connect with the older adult for a visit or a friendly phone call.

Date & time: Wednesday, September 16 between 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Pick up at two convenient locations:
West Side: DOROT, 171 West 85th Street (off Amsterdam Avenue)
East Side: Moise Safra Center, 130 East 82nd Street (between Park and Lexington Avenues)

Learn more and register at dorotusa.org/roshhashanah.

Please Note: Pre-registration and valid photo ID are required to participate.

About DOROT: For five decades, DOROT has been a leader in social connection and volunteerism, bringing older adults together with people of all ages, fostering fulfilling, meaningful relationships and building a warm social community.
