Deliver joy and holiday cheer to older adults through DOROT’s Rosh Hashanah Package Delivery!
As a Rosh Hashanah Package Delivery volunteer, you can make a meaningful connection with an older neighbor through a social visit or phone call and a holiday care package. While holidays can increase feelings of loneliness or isolation, volunteering for Package Delivery creates shared connections and community.
The program is called Package Delivery, but we like to say that it’s really "not about the package." 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.
