The charity provides millions of nutritious meals to elderly New Yorkers with food insecurity.
This Wednesday, leaders in fashion, politics, and philanthropy gathered at New York City’s festively-decorated Plaza hotel to share a friendly meal and donate to a good cause. It was Citymeals on Wheels’ annual Power Lunch, hosted to raise funds to feed elderly New Yorkers in need. This time around, the event raised $1.5 million—proceeds which will translate into 150,000 nourishing meals.
Also in attendance were: Citymeals board president Colleen Goggins, board chair chef Daniel Boulud, Citymeals ambassador Brynn Whitfield, and event chairs Dr. Samantha Boardman, Margo M. Nederlander, and Lizzie Tisch.“This year, we’re proud to recognize Lauren Santo Domingo and The Shubert Organization for their unwavering commitment to helping Citymeals end elder hunger,” Citymeals CEO Beth Shapiro said.
