ABOUT
The Carter Burden Center for the Aging, Inc. promotes the well being of seniors 60 and older through a continuum of services, advocacy and volunteer programs oriented to individual, family and community needs. We are dedicated to supporting the efforts of older people to live safely and with dignity.
The Carter Burden Center oversees hot lunch delivery to hundreds of home-bound senior citizens in New York City. Meal delivery volunteers not only provide the advantage of a daily lunch to our seniors, but are able to interact with those they are benefitting face-to-face. Each meal delivery also serves as a status check and a friendly visit for clients who are often unable to leave their home and receive few, if any, visitors. Meals are delivered on foot to clients living between 69th and 79th Streets, between Fifth Avenue and the East River. Volunteers deliver in pairs or groups and generally visit 8-12 clients. Volunteers should be able to carry 5-10 pounds and walk up several flights of stairs comfortably since some clients live in walk-up buildings.
