MESH Report for November 24-25, 2025
We had our first Teen MESH of the year.
We decided to go with tried-and-true for our first Teen MESH of the year. The dinner bags were packed with: Salmon burgers on buns, Tzatziki sauce, Rice Pilaf Mediterranean salad, Cookies, Protein bar, Tangerines, and Water.
Jordan, president of PLATES, brought four other club members to cook for our 50 guests. Pictured above: Olyvia, Jordan, Caitlin, Sena and Leila.
Special shout-outs to Amy Rabinowitiz for doing the bulk of the shopping, Risa Bernstein for providing the cookies, and first-time MESHer Gerry Blume, who helped finish the packing and delivered the meals to the Office.
The teens are looking forward to our next MESH.
Happy Thanksgiving to All!
About MESH
The Carol Starr MESH Cafe at Shomrei (Montclair Emergency Services for Hope) is a cooperative effort between the MESH organization and local synagogues and churches.
Volunteer at Shomrei
Shomrei provides 50 meals to MESH on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month. We need volunteers to help prepare and pack the food. For those interested in volunteering who are not available on Tuesday afternoons, we are brainstorming different ways to make it work. Let us know what would work for you.
