City Meals-on-Wheels raises private funds to ensure no homebound elderly New Yorker will ever go a day without food or human company.

City Meals funds 30 community-based agencies that bring weekend, holiday and emergency meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers who can no longer shop or cook for themselves.
