We’re teaming up with chef David Burke and his restaurant David Burke at Bloomingdale’s to donate
Thanksgiving dinners to Citymeals-on-Wheels. And YOU are the magic ingredient that can make it all happen.
Forget spending hours in the kitchen this year – order your entire Thanksgiving meal, with all the fixings,
through
Delivery.com. All you have to do is pop a prepped and seasoned turkey into the oven, and dinner is
served!   When you order a David Burke-prepared Thanksgiving dinner, featuring his exclusive recipes, you are
helping us deliver Thanksgiving meals to those in need. For every 10 Thanksgiving dinners (each feed 8 people)
ordered from David Burke on Delivery.com, we’ll send another dinner to Citymeals-on-Wheels.   The day
before Thanksgiving, we’ll be delivering all of these donated dinners (plus five from David Burke and the
Delivery.com family – enough to feed 40 people) to a Citymeals-on-Wheels center.   Help us give back to the
community this Thanksgiving by ordering your Turkey Day dinner from chef David Burke on

Delivery.com and David Burke at Bloomingdales Share the Giving Spirit This Thanksgiving


New York, New York November 16, 2012 -  Three prominent NYC businesses/organizations have come together to make sure one group of less fortunate
New Yorkers enjoys a true Thanksgiving feast.  
Delivery.com, David Burke at Bloomingdales and Citymeals-on-Wheels, will join forces the day before
Thanksgiving to deliver gourmet turkey dinners to
Encore Community Services Center located in Time Square.  

Delivery.com has partnered with David Burke and David Burke at Bloomingdales to offer pre-packaged gourmet Thanksgiving dinners for NYC residents
and visitors exclusively through the online food-ordering website.  "We are excited to kick-off the holiday season by offering our members the change to
enjoy a gourmet Thanksgiving dinner prepared by one of New York's most prominent chefs.  We also felt it would be a wonderful opportunity to support
one of our partner charities as well as those less fortunate in our city," says VP of Marketing for
Delivery.com, Neeraj Sharma.  Delivery.com is the only
site of its kind that offers all of there members the option to donate rewards points to a list of local charities. Together the team will donate 5 of the family
sized turkey dinners with all the fix ins, enough for roughly 50 people and an additional dinner will be donated for every 10 meals sold.

12% of New York City's population is elderly, and an alarming percentage of that population is living in poverty. For various reasons related to health and
age, many elderly in the city are unable to leave their homes. Basic food delivery programs do not deliver food on weekends and holidays and the aftermath
of Sandy left many charity food programs strapped, making it that much more important for members of the community to pitch in this Thanksgiving.
