Winter is coming and Citymeals on Wheels is getting the most vulnerable New Yorkers ready for a potentially harsh, frigid season.

Dozens of volunteers and staff from the nonprofit group prepared thousands of vital Emergency Food Packages (EFPs) at their Bronx meal distribution center last week for homebound, elderly New Yorkers.

With the threat of COVID-19 still casting its shadow over the Big Apple, Citymeals believes that, coupled with the winter storms, this season is particularly brutal for older adults who are isolated from the outside world, so they depend on food to be delivered.

“As the pandemic continues into its second winter, making sure our vulnerable older neighbors have nutritious food on hand is absolutely essential,” said Citymeals on Wheels Executive Director Beth Shapiro. “The 20,000 homebound elderly New Yorkers we serve are the hidden hungry–no longer able to shop, cook or even walk to a food pantry. These special care packages ensure they have food in their cupboards and a nourishing lifeline when they need it.”
