MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Due to rapid spread of COVID-19 & in support of the health and well-being of our staff & seniors, all SHOPP SENIOR CENTERS Grab & Go meals have been SUSPENDED until further notice.

I want to extend our deepest gratitude to our senior center staff who have been on the frontline trying to maintain the meal program to best of their ability. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. Thank you!

SHOPP staff will continue to perform Wellness Calls to all members to ensure everyone is safe and well. If you require immediate assistance or need to reach us, please call us at (347) 862-5200 or email us at info@nshopp.org.

As a reminder, to help battle this pandemic please practice safe social distancing, stay home and wash & sanitize your hands often.

Be safe.

Urgent Support Needed for Neighborhood SHOPP

During this time we ask you to help support our programs and services by making a donation to our organization. Your donation will help us provide services to our seniors and caregivers in our community during the COVID-19 crisis. We hope to offer more over-the-phone and online programming to help combat social isolation in our older adult community.
