2 million New Yorkers are over 60
1 in 4 New Yorkers is an older adult
3 in 10 older adults have difficulty or inability to purchase affordable, healthy food
More older adults than children 18 and under now live in NYC

Older adult centers, nutritious meals, and community programs that end isolation and help members build lasting friendships every day.

Creative

Arts education, the Carter Burden Gallery, and intergenerational programs that inspire creativity, connection, and purpose at every age.

Cared For

Social services, case management, and health and wellness programs that help older adults stay healthy, independent, and supported.

“When my husband passed away, I didn’t know what to do with myself. CBN saved my life. I’ve met so many new friends and joined a Mindful Movement class that I would never miss. CBN has given me a community and a place to belong. It means so much to me.”
