During the pandemic, senior citizens in East Harlem are particularly hard hit; they are often economically struggling and living alone. Currently, Union Settlement’s Meals on Wheel program serves approximately 550 homebound seniors each day.

This program is in need of more volunteers to help prep meals from 8:30am – 10:30am and deliver meals from 10am-12:30pm. The program particularly needs more volunteers on Monday and Tuesday.  Ideally, it would like to recruit 10 more volunteers on each day. The volunteer work takes place at Corsi Senior Center on 307 E 116th Street, New York, NY 10029.  Interested volunteers please contact Andrew Hall at ahall@unionsettlement.org.
