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 OFA 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.

Senior Exercise leaders volunteer to lead an hour long, twice a week exercise class in their area for seniors using an established program designed to counteract the effects of normal aging. There are dozens of locations already established around Dutchess County. The Senior Exercise program was suspended during the early months of the COVID-19 crisis, and is now resuming under CDC safety guidelines. Depending on pandemic restrictions, both virtual and in-person classes may take place.
