Tickets are now available for the 39th Annual Power Lunch on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at The Plaza in New York City. This year's Power Lunch will honor dedicated Citymeals supporter Jessica Tisch, Police Commissioner of the City of New York; Dame Natalie Massenet, Co-Founder, Imaginary Ventures; and Al Roker, Weather and Feature Anchor, NBC's TODAY Show, Co-Host of 3rd Hour TODAY. 

In 1986, Citymeals Founder Gael Greene and then-Board Member Joan Weill conceived the Power Lunch for Women — our biggest fundraising event of the year — as a spoof on the men's power breakfast concept. Decades later, we're still bringing together friends old and new to join us in the fight to end elder hunger. Power Lunch has raised more than $33 million in support of Citymeals' mission over the years. See photos and press coverage from last year's event.
