City of Doral COVID-19 Individual and Family Food Support

September 9, 2020

From the City of Doral to its residents

With schools and many businesses closed, many who have never needed to come for us for help now need assistance–and the seniors, children and families who rely on our services need us more than ever. It’s especially important for our seniors, who are the most vulnerable to COVID-19, to keep their immune systems strong with enough nutritious food. From the signing of the First Emergency Order, Mayor Bermudez and City Council has been working through the Doral Police Department’s Emergency Resource Unit to provide food to our seniors from our Silver Club Program when needed and requested.
 
If you are a Doral Resident in need of food assistance and are elderly, pregnant, immunocompromised or have been told by a physician to stay home, or have suffered a loss of income, or facing other challenges caused by COVID-19, you may be eligible for home delivery of food.
 
Our hearts go out to everyone in our community facing challenges during this time. If you are in need of food assistance, please submit your request through the City’s 311 online system at
