Oct. 9 is Ageism Awareness Day. Let’s .

One powerful way we can address ageism is by making connections across generations.

Our programs bring together older adults with peers and volunteers of all ages to build friendships, break down stereotypes, and tell a new story about aging.

"During our recent Rosh Hashanah Package Delivery, I had the privilege of connecting with a very special DOROT volunteer. Anne, who is 103 years old, welcomed other volunteers and spoke about the importance of showing empathy and compassion to one another and giving back to the community.

After volunteering, Anne insisted, despite having visual and hearing limitations, on walking to the bus stop herself and taking the crosstown bus home. In fact, she got rather annoyed with me when I offered to get her a car or taxi—not bad for 103!

Anne has been volunteering with DOROT for many years and continues to be an incredible inspiration to us all."
