Help Keep a Promise to Elderly New Yorkers

26 years ago we made a promise that New York’s elderly would never have to be hungry or lonely during the holidays. Since then, we have extended that promise to include healthy meals delivered on holidays, weekends and times of emergency. This holiday season, help the promise last all year long.

No One Should Be Hungry During the Holidays

Thousands of New York’s elderly go without nutritious meals and company every day. The holidays often heighten feelings of loneliness and isolation. That’s why it’s imperative that we continue to fortify the daily lifeline that our visits offer — especially this time of year…

Please donate now!

HOLIDAY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The holidays are often the most difficult time of year for our meal recipients. Feelings of isolation are often intensified. You can help by donating your time on Christmas. Prepare and deliver meals to New York’s homebound elderly. Brighten the holidays and ease the loneliness for your frail aged neighbors.Please view our holiday volunteer opportunities.

Yesterday’s explosion on Lexington Ave. will not delay Citymeals meal deliveries. If you or someone you know needs meals, click “Get Meals” now. If you are having difficulty contacting a meal center, please call Department for the Aging at (212) 442-1000.

As Thursday’s explosion occurred in front of the Citymeals offices, in the area declared a “frozen zone”, our headquarters is closed. We will be there in person to help as soon as it is safe to return to the area.
