From delivering meals to making social visits, Citymeals offers volunteer opportunities to suit all types of schedules and interests. We have established a network of compassionate individual, corporate and community group volunteers who ensure homebound elderly New Yorkers receive a continuous lifeline of nourishment and companionship. Last year, 26,212 dedicated volunteers lent their support to our mission.
