| About Our Company |
Citymeals-on-Wheels was founded in 1981 to raise private funds to supplement New York City’s weekday home delivered meals program. Citymeals funds community based organizations to bring meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers on weekends, holidays, and in times of emergency – when they would otherwise be hungry and alone.
Last year, Citymeals supported the preparation and delivery of nearly 2 million meals to 17,000 homebound elderly New Yorkers. One hundred percent of contributions from the general public are used exclusively for the preparation and delivery of meals. Administrative costs are covered by designated grants from Citymeals board members, corporations, foundations, and government sources.
