Citymeals-on-Wheels | Delivering Meals on Wheels to New York City's Homebound Elderly
Description edit
In 1981, Gael Greene and James Beard founded Citymeals-on-Wheels by raising private funds to supplement the government-funded weekday meal delivery program. Citymeals now funds 120 community-based agencies that bring weekend, holiday, emergency, and weekday meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers who can no longer shop or cook for themselves.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, Citymeals funded the preparation and delivery of over 2 million meals to more than 17,000 homebound elderly New Yorkers.
In addition to funding weekend, holiday, and emergency meals, Citymeals also underwrites weekday meals for 1,200 homebound elderly who were formerly on waiting lists for home-delivered meals.
