Safety First Event

As part of the nation-wide United We Serve campaign, Met Council is organizing a Safety First Event.

Sunday, August 16th
1:00pm-3:30pm
East side of Manhattan (at our low income senior residence)


The event will provide emergency preparedness cards for low-income seniors. We need volunteers to gather information, write the information onto the cards, laminate the cards, and distribute them out to the residents.

In the event of an emergency, the first information needed is medical information along with emergency phone numbers. By putting this information at the senior’s finger tips, we ensure that they are well prepared in case of a medical emergency.

To sign up, please e-mail volunteer@metcouncil.org or call Kelley at 212-453-9657.
