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.
Support CitymealsCitymeals was founded in 1981 by caring members of the culinary community. Since then, our friends in the food world have been essential in helping ensure a lifeline of nourishing meals for older New Yorkers in need.
The Citymeals Culinary Circle was established by Board Members Chef Daniel Boulud and Chef Charlie Palmer to rally support from local chefs, restaurateurs and culinary influencers. Together, they support Citymeals through events and partnerships, volunteer opportunities and raising awareness of our mission.
The Culinary Circle chairs are Chef Aliyyah Baylor, Chef Daniel Boulud, Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, Bob Grimes, Suri Kasirer, Drew Nieporent and Chef Charlie Palmer.
See our map for all participating chefs and restaurants.
