Gail Doroff

Intake
Coordinator

About Gail

Gail Doroff

I joined Meals on Wheels in 2016 as a volunteer after retiring from owning a pre-school and camp in Rockland County. From there I moved into the position of Intake Coordinator. Much of my past experience was with assisting families and their children in gaining access to available county services. After moving my parents from Florida, I had to learn how to navigate the many services available to them in the area. While helping them, I realized that seniors and their families need a great deal of assistance to fully understand their options. Soon after I began working at Meals on Wheels, I realized that I had found a perfect fit – I was helping seniors get meals and services they needed so desperately. Please do not hesitate to call for information on assistance that may be available. I will always take the time to direct you to the right person or agency for your needs.
