Queens, N.Y. - The Queens College men’s
basketball team took time out of their schedule recently to
participate in a meal delivery day with the Citymeals-on-Wheels
program. They bagged up donated food into meals and delivered
them to homebound elderly people in the area.
Citymeals-on-Wheels is one of the largest food delivery services in
the city, providing two million meals to 18,000 hungry New Yorkers
annually.
Members of the team sorted through donated food, made bagged meals,
and joined other volunteers to deliver the meals and chat with
local elderly people.
Jeremiah Mordi reflected on the event, “Providing food for
the elderly really teaches perspective. Sometimes you take
something as simple as food for granted, but it’s important
to understand that there are people struggling out there.
It’s gratifying to help.”
