Hello Community Member,
Hope you are all enjoying all the offerings that has come with summer and are all doing well. The GetFoodNYC Emergency Home Food Delivery program, established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, is ending in October 2021. If you are enrolled in the program our staff will be reaching out to you in the next week to inquire if you will need food assistance from New York City beyond October. They will help you apply for Meals on Wheels if you are eligible to continue receiving home delivered meals.
In terms of reopening Sirovich, we are still diligently working with the Department for the Aging on fixing our HVAC system and Walk-In fridge. We promise to keep you informed and to reopen as quickly and safely as possible. In the meantime our social workers and case managers are available for in person meetings by appointments only. You must make an appointment and go through a health screening before being seen by them.
In September the center will be closed for the following holiday:
Labor Day - Monday, September 6
Rosh Hashanah - Tuesday and Wednesday, September 7 & 8
Yom Kippur - Thursday September 16
There will be no classes in person or virtually. Please look through the class offering for additional days classes will not be happening due to instructor's availabilities.
Thank you for helping make the Sirovich community, our city, and our world a place where everyone knows they belong. We appreciate your understanding and patience, and will continue our virtual programming as a way to keep you connected from home. Thanks for being a part of the Sirovich Community.
With Gratitude,
Shao Mei Zhang
Senior Director of Older Adult Services at Sirovich Center for Balanced Living
