event sponsorships
Citymeals-on-Wheels hosts numerous fundraising events each year attracting business leaders, celebrities and gourmands. Theses events are excellent venues for corporate entertaining. An event sponsorship will add value to your brand with strong visibility on invitations, event journals, advertising and more. Learn more about our events.
round-up programs
Round-Ups are a way for New York supermarkets, restaurants, retailers and their customers to raise money for New York's frail aged. Customers "round up" their transaction $1, $3, $5 or more to support Citymeals. This easily implemented promotion links your company with our high profile cause.
eat cheap for charity
A turnkey initiative was designed originally for law firms’ summer associate programs. Eat Cheap for Charity encourages participants to "brown-bag" their lunch once a week during the summer (or have a pizza party, etc.). In return, participating firms donate the associates’ lunch allowance for the day(s) to Citymeals-on-Wheels. Eat Cheap is a great way to create and enhance camaraderie among summer associates while helping New York shut-ins eat lunch as well.
mother's day – real-estate campaign
The real estate community celebrates Mother’s Day by providing meals for New York’s homebound aged, over 75% of whom are women. Citymeals recognizes these contributors in a full-page advertisement in The New York Times.
