Thanks to our many generous supporters, they’ll receive a knock on the door to remind them they are not forgotten and ensure they have a nourishing, festive meal.
, a combination of holiday, weekend and emergency, were delivered by almost 19,000 Citymeals volunteers and staff last year in partnership with community-based organizations and senior centers.
