Info

ROAC is a non profit older adult center offering congregate lunch and activities to 60+ yrs old adults residing in Queens CD5. In addition, the center operates a food pantry program, for the community, on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month, 1pm-3pm. When we do operate our pantry, we check for valid IDs to confirm that a recipient resides in Queens CD5 and we prioritize older adults 60+ yrs old.

We update operating days for each month on our website, www.roacny.org, as needed.
