Yes, we could really use your volunteer assistance. Home Delivered Meal Drivers deliver a nutritious midday meal to the homebound, frail elderly of Dutchess County from one of our 8 Senior Friendship Centers. Most drivers volunteer once a week for a route that takes under one hour. Other arrangements can also be made. Centers are located in the City of Poughkeepsie, City of Beacon, and the towns of Fishkill, East Fishkill, Pawling, Poughkeepsie and Red Hook, the village of Millerton and hamlet of South Amenia. We can work with wherever you are able and willing to drive, and with whatever your schedule is. Contact us to learn more about mileage reimbursement, insurance and other issues.

With COVID-19 pandemic restrictions expected to continue in 2021, the Office for the Aging is presenting alternatives to the traditional sit-down OFA Senior Picnics that have taken place every summer since 1993. This year's "drive-thru" and "drive-in" events are likely to include drive-thru Senior Picnics, drive-in bingo events, and several other events. We're likely to need help that will include directing traffic, and bringing food and other items to seniors' vehicles. For more information, email bjones@dutchessny.gov. We're expecting to be busy with outdoor events during the spring, summer and fall of 2021. The schedule of OFA picnics is available at www.dutchessny.gov/OFApicnics.
