Citymeals CEO Beth Shapiro

Beth Shapiro has led Citymeals on Wheels since 2011, increasing the number of meals delivered by 20% and doubling public donations and institutional support.

She spearheaded Citymeals’ first capital campaign, raising $23 million to inaugurate the Joan & Bob Tisch Meal Distribution Center. This facility in the Bronx expanded Citymeals' capacity as a emergency responder and enabled us to mount an unprecedented and sustained response to the food crisis created by Covid-19. During the pandemic, Citymeals delivered over six million meals to 50,000 older New Yorkers.

This year, Beth delivered Citymeals' milestone 70 millionth meal and launched an ambitious new goal for our work: to end hunger among older New Yorkers by 2040.
