Today (March 30th) is our LAST DAY for our Grab-and-Go lunches from our center.

The Department for the Aging (DFTA) will be transitioning to home delivered meals to all senior participants. This helps ensure that our participants can stay safely inside their homes while receiving meals. DFTA is currently in the process of calling or texting participants with more information about the home delivered meals.

The home delivered meals will be delivered once a week and will consist of 5 frozen meals. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE AND NO ONE SHOULD BE ASKING YOU FOR MONEY. Delivery will take place between 10am to 3pm.

If you have not received a meal or message by the end of this week or have complaints/concerns about the meals, please call us here at the senior center at 718-591-3377. Please provide your full name, phone number, address and birth date.
