So many of us take simple things, like going to the grocery, for granted. 41% of respondents to @Citymeals research said they are sometimes or never able to shop for groceries. See below for more about food insecurity among older NYers and ways Citymeals is going to do to help.

[Citymeals on Wheels @Citymeals]

Our new research shows that grocery shopping is a significant challenge for older New Yorkers. Most have to walk to the store, a 40-minute walk on average. Learn more about the food security challenges facing our neighbors in need: https://t.co/6DiZHYP8M2

[Beth Shapiro @shapiro_b]

Isolation can lead to loneliness and depression, all negatively impacting food security.

[Citymeals on Wheels @Citymeals]

Together we can work to end elder hunger in NYC by 2040 helping people stay in their homes and reducing long-term institutional care costs. Thank you @BethNY.

[Beth Finkel @BethNY]

Let this sink into policymakers and electeds: it’s clear the ROI on $ spent on helping people stay in their homes as they age! Pay now or pay so much more if more people have to move to institutional care. ⁦@Citymeals⁩ ⁦@AARPNY⁩ #Hunger

@aecnyc @Lexus Unfortunately not! AAA, NJ State Troopers & our tow guy were great though.

[Beth Shapiro @shapiro_b]

Hey @Lexus, car dead in flood watch weather on side of highway and roadside assistance hangs up after 20 minutes on hold. Any tips?
