	Purim For Met Council's Housing Residents Thanks to Met Council’s wonderful volunteers from Dor Chadash, we were able to bring Purim festivities to our low income senior clients during the holiday. On Sunday, February 28th, volunteers hosted a cheerful Purim party for senior residents replete with decorations, hamentaschen baking, costume making, and – most importantly – good company. At the end of the day, residents were also given Mishloach Manot packages courtesy of Dor Chadash.
