STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Meals on Wheels of Staten Island has announced its new initiative to feed homebound seniors and help local restaurants at the same time.
The initiative, Donate & Dine, is designed to raise funds to feed seniors in need on Staten Island, while helping local restaurant owners -- many who are struggling to stay open due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
“It’s unfortunate that we cannot host our annual luncheon in person," said Joseph Tornello, CEO and president of Meals on Wheels of Staten Island. "However, we are excited about the potential of this campaign to not only assist our senior community, but also help the struggling restaurant community.”
The campaign will provide individuals who donate $75 to Meals on Wheels with a $50 gift card to a participating location of their choice.
Participating restaurants include: Bario’s Pizzeria, Beyar’s Market, Call It A Wrap, Canon’s, Denino’s, District, Giovanni’s Trattoria, Ho’Brah, Hop Shoppe, Jimmy Max, Joyce’s Tavern, Kettle Black, La Bella Marketplace, Love Earth Cafe, Made in Sicily, Nino’s, Richmond Republic, Rustic Pizza & Pasta, Sally’s Southern, Sofia’s Taqueria, Stone House, The Phoenix, The Pizza Parlor, The Richmond, Trattoria Romana, Vinum, and Violettes Cellar.
The campaign will end on Nov. 12, with a life stream to a virtual 50/50 raffle, for baskets to raise additional funding.
Meals on Wheels has provided nutritious meals to the homebound aging population who are unable to shop or prepare for their own meals, and feeds over 1,300 senior citizens daily.
