No one should have to go a day without food — never mind two. Citymeals on Wheels bridges the gap left by government-funded programs, which only provide meals during the week. Citymeals ensures that our homebound older neighbors have nourishing meals for Saturdays and Sundays through partnerships with community-based organizations and older adult centers.

Our meals must meet strict federal guidelines developed by nutritionists. Each meal includes protein, at least two servings of fruit and vegetables and a whole grain component.
Citymeals provides more than just nourishment. Every meal is personally delivered, creating the opportunity for our older neighbors to connect with the world beyond their front door. These regular deliveries serve as an important check-in and provide a sense of comfort for isolated meal recipients, who often have no family or friends nearby.
Last year, we delivered nearly 1,500,000 weekend meals.
