Giving Back Has Never Been Sweeter
From Thursday, September 1, 2016 through Friday, September 30, 2016, some of New York City’s best restaurants, bakeries and sweet shops will celebrate “Sweet September,” an initiative that raises awareness and funds for Citymeals on Wheels, a nonprofit organization that prepares and delivers more than two million weekend, holiday and emergency meals each year for homebound elderly New Yorkers.
Each participating location has designated delectable desserts and “Sweet September” goodies whose sale will benefit Citymeals. For each “Sweet September” item sold, the eateries will donate a portion of proceeds to support the preparation and delivery of meals to New York City’s frail aged.
