Deliver warmth and connection to older adults through DOROT’s Passover Package Delivery!
As a Package Delivery volunteer, you can make a meaningful connection with an older neighbor through a social visit or phone call and a care package. While holidays can increase feelings of loneliness or isolation, volunteering for Passover 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 recipients alike.
