Power Lunch

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 olds and new to join us in the fight to end elder hunger.

Celebrities and Board Members at the Power Lunch for Citymeals: Claire Paull, Suri Kasirer, Daniel Boulud, Citymeals CEO Beth Shapiro and Brynn Whitfield.

The 37th Annual Power Lunch honored dedicated Citymeals supporters Lauren Santo Domingo and The Shubert Organization. The event raised enough to provide 150,000 meals for older New Yorkers in need.
