Citymeals on Wheels delivers to thousands of elderly and homebound New Yorkers on Christmas
NEW YORK - Bringing holiday cheer and a good meal to New Yorkers in need, Citymeals On Wheels planned to deliver 25,000 holiday meals to homebound, elderly New yorkers.
More than 300 volunteers helped pack and deliver meals on Christmas Day.
Citymeals on Wheels says its mission to help vulnerable New Yorkers is even more important during the holidays.
"Getting nutritious food every day is critical to their health and safety, and a check-in is special and needed, especially on a day like today," Rachel Sherrow, Citymeals on Wheels chief operating officer.
Since 1981, Citymeals on Wheels has delivered nearly 70 million meals to older New Yorkers in need.
