Meals On Wheels program provides daily meals to local Seniors
The Emerald Isle Immigration Center’s Meals On Wheels program provides daily meals to local Seniors who are unable to prepare meals for themselves due to an age related disability or illness. The meals are delivered daily by a group of dedicated volunteers. We are always seeking new volunteers so please contact us at 718-324-3039 ext. 102 if you are interested or if you know of someone who would like to become a meal recipient. This program is generously funded by NYS Senator Jeff Klein and the New York State Department Of Aging (NYS DOA).
Emerald Isle closed while making improvements
Emerald Isle Immigration Center is proud to have been an integral part of the Woodlawn community for over 20 years. Since 1993, we have grown in service and in size. Earlier this year we were fortunate to become the owner of our long-time office at 4275 Katonah Avenue. Over the past weeks we have discovered the need to make emergency repairs to our building.
These emergency repairs have caused the occasional temporary closing of our office in the Bronx. For this we apologize to our clients and community. Please be assured that we will reopen as soon as possible.
Maureen Fegan
As a mark of respect for our esteemed colleague Maureen Fegan, who died Saturday March 19th, our Bronx office will close at 2pm Tuesday March 22nd and all day on Wednesday March 23rd.
