No one should have to go a day without food — never mind two. Through partnerships with community-based organizations and older adult centers, Citymeals bridges the gap left by government-funded programs, which only provide meals during the week. On Saturdays and Sundays, Citymeals ensures that our homebound elderly neighbors have nourishing meals.

Our meals must meet strict federal guidelines developed by nutritionists. Each includes protein, at least two servings of fruit and vegetables and a whole grain component.
Citymeals provides more than just nourishment. Every meal is personally delivered, creating the opportunity for our older neighbors to connect with the world beyond their front door. These reliable deliveries serve as an important check-in and provide a sense of comfort for isolated meal recipients, who often have no family or friends nearby.
Last year, we delivered nearly 1,600,000 weekend meals.

We are able to promise that 100% of your donation will be used for the preparation and delivery of meals, thanks to our partnership with the City of New York, Citymeals board members and certain designated grants for administrative expenses.
