For New York Cityβs most vulnerable population β the homebound elderly β extreme weather conditions are especially dangerous. Thatβs why our warehouse buzzes with activity seasonally as staff assemble Emergency Food Packages (EFPs) for our meal recipients. Each EFP contains several ready-to-eat meals and additional items, including staples like tuna, organic brown rice, vegetables and applesauce β as well as special treats like hot chocolate and low-sugar cookies.
Winter can be tough for our homebound elderly neighbors. Thatβs why we provide Emergency Food Packages, containing meals, pantry staples and healthy treats to ensure our recipients have food on hand: www.citymeals.org/about-us/wha...
