Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Each month, DOROT mails over 200 handmade birthday cards to isolated and frail seniors. Our cards are created by people of all ages, from 4-90! You can make birthday cards at home and mail your final creations to DOROT. DOROT then addresses cards and mails to seniors.

"I have just received your lovely card and good wishes on my birthday-which I had been planning to forget! But it really cheered me up... I just can't express how much!"-Miriam, 91
