HOLIDAY
Gift Guide
2014
dearFRIENDS, We are pleased to present our first Holiday Gift Guide. From beautiful jewelry and handbags to delicious gift boxes, we have hand-selected and curated some of our favorite gift items of the season—all from partners who have generously offered to donate a percentage of their sales to help us achieve our mission.
At Citymeals®, we feed and nourish homebound elderly New Yorkers by delivering meals and human companionship on weekends, holidays, and during times of emergency. They are a wonderful part of our community with incredible stories and histories but whose age and handicaps prevent them from leaving their homes to shop for food or cook for themselves. There are over 18,000 frail-aged across New York City’s five boroughs, who rely on us to ensure they can have a meal and a personal connection with another human every day. At Citymeals, 100% of donations from the general public go to the preparation and delivery of meals. This year alone, supporters like you provided for over 2 million meals through their generous contributions. As you celebrate the holidays with those you love, we hope you’ll also provide for some nourishment, human company and holiday magic for the homebound elderly amongst us. With every purchase from this gift guide, a bit of joy will be delivered thanks to your support.
Many thanks and season’s greetings,
Executive Director Citymeals-on-Wheels

about CITYMEALS Nourish your soul.
Feed elderly New Yorkers. Gael Greene and James Beard founded Citymeals-on-Wheels in 1981 after reading an article in the New York Times about frail aged New Yorkers with nothing to eat on weekends and holidays. They rallied their friends in the restaurant community to raise private funds as a supplement to the government-funded weekday meal delivery program. Since 1981, Citymeals has delivered nearly 50 million meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers who have become too frail or ill to shop, cook or often even leave their homes. Our family of generous contributors helps us bring 2 million nutritious meals to 18,000 frail aged in every borough of New York City each year. Many Citymeals recipients are living in poverty and suffer from loneliness. They are counting on us. We are working hard to make sure they are never hungry or alone. Thanks to our partnership with the New York City Department for the Aging, along with gifts from our Board of Directors and others designated for administrative expenses, we can promise that 100% of all donations from the public will be used entirely for programs.
All meal recipients are over 60 years of age and chronically disabled by conditions such as vision loss, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. New York City is home to over 1.4 million seniors (60 and older) who represent 17% of our population. The number of those aged 85 and older is growing the fastest. Over 60% of meal recipients are over 80 years old, 23% are over 90 and 1.3% are aged 100 and older.
The
Greatest Giftof All
This holiday season, consider making a donation. For every $39.00 contributed, six weekend meals will be prepared and delivered to a homebound elderly New Yorker. Learn more at citymeals.org/support-us.
