DOROT

Stage: Active Aging activities in place

DOROT has been at the forefront of alleviating social isolation among older adults for over 46 years. Our life-enhancing programs and services engage volunteers of all ages, bringing the generations together and creating meaningful relationships that benefit all. DOROT’s range of opportunities enrich the lives of older adults, connecting them to their peers and multi-generational friendships, and offering them access to supportive services, vital resources, and nutritious food deliveries on a weekly, monthly, and holiday basis. Our mission is to alleviate social isolation among older adults and provide services to help them live independently as valued members of the community. We serve the Jewish and wider community, bringing the generations together in a mutually beneficial partnership of elders, volunteers, and professionals. Our work provides an effective model for others.
