About us
Citymeals on Wheels provides a continuous lifeline of nourishing meals and vital companionship to New York City’s homebound elderly. Each year, Citymeals prepares and delivers over 2 million weekend, holiday and emergency meals for nearly 22,000 of our vulnerable older neighbors. We have delivered over 70 million meals since our founding in 1981. Citymeals has set an ambitious goal to end elder hunger in New York City by 2040. 100% of all public donations will be used entirely for the preparation and delivery of meals, thanks to the generosity of our Board of Directors, the City of New York, sponsors and other designated gifts.

"There was a steady flow of meals for older New Yorkers who were in desperate need." Citymeals CEO Beth Shapiro reflects on the organization's response to the pandemic in her StoryCorps interview. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eB2EPnQe

Hard to believe it’s been five years since the start if Covid. Still my proudest moments at Citymeals were how our team went into action. I remember staff and volunteers packing meals at our Distribution Center which was quickly filled to the rafters with food for us to get to older New Yorkers. Could not have done without the support of so many.
Five years ago today, New York City shut down as the pandemic took hold. Overnight, Citymeals went from feeding 18,000 older neighbors to 50,000. Over the next two years, we delivered 6 million meals — our largest emergency response ever. The pandemic exposed deep cracks in the social safety net, especially for isolated older people. We remember the many New Yorkers who lost their lives and honor the frontline workers and volunteers who helped us ensure a lifeline for our older neighbors during the crisis.

On International Women's Day, we honor Citymeals recipients like Anne, 96, who fled Nazi-occupied Austria as a girl. In the wake of unimaginable loss, Anne built a career and a life in New York City. Older New Yorkers like her remind us of the resilience of those who came before — and all that we owe them today.
